One Hundred Fiftieth Anniversary of Birth of Bahá’u’lláh
[edit]November 12, 1967, will mark the 150th anniversary of Bahá’u’lláh’s birth. We call the entire Bahá’í world to joyful celebration, befitting an event so momentous to the fortunes of humanity.
The Universal House of Justice feels that the coincidence of this great occasion with the opening of the proclamation period provides a splendid opportunity for bringing to public attention both the spiritual and social import of the Cause. Not only its message, but the historical fact of a new Revelation, with all its implications of a new and worldwide civilization, should be made clear.
Let the friends not hesitate to welcome to their observances, even to those of a devotional character, the non-Bahá’í public, many of whom may well be attracted by the prayers and expressions of gratitude of the believers, no less than by the exalted tone of passages from Bahá’í Writings.
