[Letter to selected National Spiritual Assemblies] |
The House of Justice calls upon the members of the community of the
Greatest Name, young and old, men and women alike, to strive to develop and
offer to humanity a new model of scholarly activity along the lines set out
in this compilation, animated by the spirit of inquiry into the limitless
meaning of the Divine Teachings. This scholarly endeavour should be
characterized by the welcome it offers to all who wish to be involved in it,
each in his or her own way, by mutual encouragement and cooperation among its
participants, and by the respect accorded to distinguished accomplishment and
outstanding achievement. The spirit and approach should be far removed from
the arrogance, contention, and exclusiveness which have too often sullied the
name of scholarship in the wider society, and which have created barriers to
the sound development of this worthy pursuit.
