To all National Spiritual Assemblies
Dear Bahá'í friends,
In the 1965 Ridvan Message from the Universal House of
Justice we announced that in September 1967, on the Feast of Mashiyyat, a few
appointed representatives of the Bahá'í world would visit the site of the House
of Bahá'u'lláh in Adrianople where the Suriy-i-Mulúk was revealed. We have
decided that the six Hands of the Cause of God who will represent the Universal
House of Justice at the Intercontinental Conferences in October are the ones to
make this visit. Immediately following this historic act they will proceed to
their respective Conferences.
For the protection of the Faith it is essential that no one,
except the Hands, travel to Turkey on this occasion.
National Spiritual Assemblies are requested to make this
announcement at the National Convention this year, and to repeat it in their
newsletters and at other times and places as may be appropriate.
With loving Bahá'í greetings,
The Universal House of Justice
