Portland, Oregon, Spiritual Assembly 1939
|
They [members of spiritual assemblies] must at all times
avoid the spirit of exclusiveness, the atmosphere of secrecy, free themselves
from a domineering attitude, and banish all forms of prejudice and passion from
their deliberations.
(Shoghi Effendi,
23 February 1924 to the Bahá'ís of America, published in "Bahá'í
Administration"; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. I, Consultation)
