Universal House of Justice response to the 2026 National Convention message

26 May 2026

To The National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of Canada,

We were happy to receive the moving message from the delegates at your National Convention. It recalled to us the Master’s assurance that this Cause “belongeth not to the material world”. The spirit that is manifest in the clear and hopeful vision with which the Canadian community has entered the second phase of the Nine Year Plan bears witness to this. May this powerful vision of a transformative way of life, now being experienced by an ever-widening circle of friends, enrich the conversations they hold, the friendships they forge, and the services they render together in pursuit of their shared aims. May it intensify their thirst for learning and be of benefit to all who encounter this community of purpose. Be assured of our prayers in the Holy Shrines for the dear friends in Canada that their endeavours may continue to advance in strength and joy.

– The Universal House of Justice
