Dear Bahá’í Friends,

We are delighted to share with you the attached new compilation on the National Spiritual Assembly; as with other compilations received in recent years, we hope that it will be widely distributed to, and studied, by the friends.  A French version will be circulated as soon as one is available.  The compilation can also be accessed on the website of the Bahá’í Reference Library at https://www.bahai.org/library/authoritative-texts/compilations/national-spiritual-assembly/.

In its covering letter dated 31 October 2023 to all National Spiritual Assemblies, the Department of the Secretariat of the Universal House of Justice shared the following about this compilation:

“In light of the significant advances in recent years in the maturation and development of National Spiritual Assemblies, the Universal House of Justice asked the Research Department to prepare a compilation of extracts from the Bahá’í writings as well as from letters written on its behalf to assist the friends in acquiring a deeper understanding of the central role the National Spiritual Assembly plays in the World Order of Bahá’u’lláh and a greater appreciation of its significance….”

With loving Bahá’í greetings,
Karen McKye, Secretary
