Yours in the service of the beloved Faith,
R. Rabbani.
[From the Guardian:]
Dearly-beloved co-workers:
In these days when perils are increasingly threatening that far-off
continent, the most distant outpost of our beloved Faith, my thoughts turn
with deepening anxiety, solicitude, and love to those who are so valiantly
holding aloft the banner of the Cause of Baha'u'llah. I appeal to every
one of them, and particularly to the members of the assemblies who
safeguard their interests, not to allow any disturbance, suffering, or
anxiety to dim the splendour of their faith, to deflect them from their
high purpose, to cause any division in their ranks, to interfere with the
steady consolidation and expansion of their activities and institutions. I
will specially pray that the work they have magnificently initiated, and
so marvellously and soundly developed may suffer no setback, but rather
continue to develop and yield its destined fruit. Persevere and rest
assured.
Your true and grateful brother,
Shoghi.
