Dear Bahá’í Friends,
282.1 The reference in the Riḍván 153 B.E. message of the Universal House of Justice concerning the importance of the arts has encouraged the friends in many countries to initiate and pursue activities to use various forms of art in promoting the teaching work. A number of Spiritual Assemblies and friends also suggested that a compilation on the subject be prepared. This request was approved by the House of Justice and a compilation entitled The Importance of the Arts in Promoting the Faith has been completed by the Research Department, and a copy is enclosed herewith. The House of Justice leaves it to your discretion to determine how best its contents may be shared with the friends under your jurisdiction.
- With loving Bahá’í greetings,
- FOR DEPARTMENT OF THE SECRETARIAT
