Bahá’í International Community

26 May 1981

To the European National Spiritual Assemblies

Dear Bahá’í Friends,

283.1 Further to the letter sent to you on behalf of the Universal House of Justice on 28 December 1980 seeking your views on the proposal to establish in Europe a branch office of the Bahá’í International Community, we are now instructed to tell you that the House of Justice has decided to establish the office now, with its address in Geneva. Mr. Giovanni Ballerio has been appointed full-time representative of the Bahá’í International Community in Europe, and will be moving, with his family, to Geneva or its vicinity. When the address is known and the office is operating an announcement will be made to the Bahá’í world.

With loving Bahá’í greetings,

Department of the Secretariat
