Release of a Compilation on Social Action

10 August 2020

To all National Spiritual Assemblies

Dear Bahá’í Friends,

348.1 We are pleased to share with you, at the request of the Universal House of Justice, the enclosed compilation on social action, which is drawn from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, the Writings and Utterances of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, the writings and letters of Shoghi Effendi, and the messages of the Universal House of Justice and letters written on its behalf. The compilation, prepared by the Research Department at the request of the House of Justice, contains 253 extracts, thematically arranged, several of which appear in English translation for the first time. It is the hope of the House of Justice that this new compilation will enhance the friends’ understanding of the distinctive Bahá’í approach to this important field of endeavor.

348.2 The compilation is now available in the compilations section of the Bahá’í Reference Library. National Spiritual Assemblies with Publishing Trusts are asked to consider producing printed editions.

With loving Bahá’í greetings,

Department of the Secretariat
