World Religion Day
In explanation of the statement on World Religion Day recently published in the Bahá’í NEWS SUPPLEMENT by the National Assembly, the friends are informed that the essential purpose of World Religion Day is to promote the claim of Bahá’u’lláh that the Bahá’í Faith is the long-promised Universal Religion, and not to provide a platform for discussion of comparative religion.
Bahá’ís may arrange meetings with representatives of other religions at any time, but World Religion Day is reserved for exposition of the station of the Faith of Bahá’u’lláh as the fulfilment of all prophetic religions of the past.
To promote this station and win the attention of a few seeking souls is far more important than to secure publicity involving the sects, churches, or synagogues of past eras.

NSA-Sponsored Regional Conferences
To Be Held in Twenty-Six Cities
The National Spiritual Assembly will sponsor another series of conferences for Bahá’ís only throughout the United States, most of them on January 30 and 31, 1960. As in the past, these conferences will be conducted primarily by members of the Auxiliary Boards of the American Hands of the Cause and of the National Spiritual Assembly itself.
Since this issue of Bahá’í News will go to print before all details have been completed, there may be a few changes in the localities chosen for the conferences; please watch your area teaching committee bulletin for full information.
The conferences will begin at 11:00 a.m. and continue to 3:30 p.m., with an hour's luncheon recess. The agenda will be informal and there will be ample opportunity to discuss the teaching needs on the homefront, as well as certain administrative principles which need clarification and emphasis in order to enable all Bahá’í communities to become the “firmly grounded, well-functioning” local institutions upon which to rear the Universal House of Justice three short years hence.
