To all National Spiritual Assemblies
Dear Bahá’í Friends,
354.1 We have been asked to forward to you a copy of the enclosed publication, Century of Light, produced at the request and under the supervision of the Universal House of Justice.
354.2 The purpose of the document, which quotes extensively from the Bahá’í Writings and the related commentaries of the Guardian, is to provide members of the Faith with a perspective on two defining processes that unfolded during the twentieth century: on the one hand, the sequence of events that made the unification of humanity the principal feature of modern history and, on the other, the emergence from obscurity of the Cause of God and its Administrative Order. It is the hope of the House of Justice that editions in a range of languages will make this material accessible to the members of Bahá’í communities throughout the world.
354.3 Some believers may wish to share copies with non-Bahá’í friends who they believe would find the contents of particular interest, and there is no objection to their doing so on an individual basis. It should be clear, however, that Century of Light is primarily a resource for Bahá’í study and deepening. It is not a public information publication, nor is it intended as a presentation piece for public figures or the media.
- With loving Bahá’í greetings,
- DEPARTMENT OF THE SECRETARIAT
