Appointment of Two Continental Counsellors

2 November 2008

To all National Spiritual Assemblies

Dear Bahá’í Friends,

120.1 For compelling personal reasons, Mr. Emilio Egea and Dr. Isatou Hyde-Forster have asked to be relieved of their responsibilities as members of the Continental Boards of Counsellors in Europe and Africa, respectively. We have, with much regret, assented to their requests. Mr. Egea and Dr. Hyde-Forster have earned our warm gratitude for the contributions they have made to the work of the Faith as Counsellors, and we pray for divine confirmations to surround them as they continue their valuable labours in other fields of service to the Cause.

120.2 To fill the vacancies thus created, we announce the appointment of Mr. Chuungu Malitonga of Zambia to the membership of the Continental Board of Counsellors in Africa and Mrs. Zoraida Garro García of Spain to the membership of the Continental Board of Counsellors in Europe, for the remainder of the present term.

With loving Bahá’í greetings,

The Universal House of Justice
