Letter of 24 Janaury 1957 (Winter School)
24 Janaury 1957 (Winter School)
Dear Bahá’í Friends:
Your message dated January 5th has reached the beloved Guardian, and he was very happy to see that the friends had been able to meet and deepen their understanding of the Faith.
He hopes that the German Bahá’ís, especially the Youth, will do all they can to consolidate the foundations of the work already so painstakingly laid in Germany during a period of almost half a century; and that each Bahá’í will consider it his privilege and duty to support the teaching work, either through pioneering to new Centers, or 287 strengthening weak Assemblies, or assisting the Groups to become Assemblies.
He assures you all of his loving prayers for your success….
[From the Guardian:]
May the Almighty bless your efforts, guide and sustain you, and enable you to extend the scope of your valued activities, acquire a fuller understanding of the distinguishing features of His Faith, and lend an impetus to the progress and consolidation of its divinely appointed institutions,
Your true brother,
Shoghi
