Letter of 17 October 1948

The Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of Cardiff, Wales
|
|
Your letter to our beloved Guardian of April 21st was
received, after a long delay, and he was most happy to hear of the
formation of your Assembly.
|
With an Assembly in Cardiff, in Edinburgh, and Dublin, the
representative character of the Faith in the British Isles is fully
established and the National body greatly re-inforced.
|
He fully realises the difficulties which have attended your
work there, and which makes your victory all the more
praiseworthy and precious. He urges you to now courageously
persevere in your work and ensure that Cardiff has, by next
April, a stable membership from which to call on for the
Spiritual Assembly’s maintenance.
|
You may be sure that he will assist you with his prayers, and
pray that each and every one of you may be protected and
assisted in your devoted services to the Faith.

Dear and valued co-workers,
|
The formation of the first Bahá’í Spiritual Assembly in Wales is
an event of great historical significance. I congratulate you on this
splendid achievement which, I trust, will be a prelude to still greater
victories in the service of our glorious Faith. I will supplicate on your
behalf, the blessings of Bahá’u’lláh, that your work may prosper, your
plans bear abundant fruit, and your hopes realised for the propagation
of the Faith and the establishment of its nascent institutions.
|
Your true and grateful brother,
Shoghi
