Messages from the Universal House of Justice, 1963-1986
Formation of an Additional National Spiritual Assembly during Riḍván 1970
11 August 1969

To all National Spiritual Assemblies

Dear Bahá’í Friends,

71.1 In the brief space of time following the announcement of the formation of six new National Spiritual Assemblies in Africa next Riḍván, the succession of victories, resulting from the prodigious efforts exerted by the devoted friends, impels us to announce that a seventh National Spiritual Assembly will be formed in Africa at Riḍván, 1970. The new National Spiritual Assembly including Congo (Brazzaville), Chad, Central African Republic and Gabon, [Page 150]will have its seat in Bangui. This will leave Uganda with its own separate National Spiritual Assembly.

71.2 Please share this joyous news with the believers. We know the friends throughout the world join us in our supplications for the continued, uninterrupted prosecution and speedy fulfillment of the goals, terminating in the ultimate triumph of the Cause of Bahá’u’lláh.

With loving Bahá’í greetings,
THE UNIVERSAL HOUSE OF JUSTICE
