Results of a genuinely global election

This entry is part 3 of 12 in the series International Convention

I’m struggling to digest this morning’s experiences at the International Baha’i Convention in Haifa.

We started with the reading of the Ridvan message to the Baha’is of the world from the Universal House of Justice. This is one of the

most powerful and direct messages I’ve heard. Of all the things that struck me, one was this:
Only if you perceive honour and nobility in every human being - this independent of wealth or poverty - will you be able to champion the cause of justice. And to the extent that administrative processes of your institutions are governed by principles of Baha’i consultation will the great masses of humanity be able to take refuge in the Baha’i community.

Sorry, out of battery.
