3 December 1990
To all National Spiritual Assemblies
Dear Baha’i Friends,
Further to our letter of 8 October 1990, in view of the
continued unsettled conditions in the Middle East, the Universal House of
Justice has decided that pilgrimages to the Holy Land up to the end of March
1991 should be canceled. The individual pilgrims scheduled for this period are
also being informed.
For the same reason, the conference for the Counselors which was scheduled to be held in the Holy Land from 28 December 1990 through 3 January 1991 has also been canceled. The House of Justice hopes it will be possible to convene such a conference at a later date.
The friends should not allow their concern about the situation in these regions to deter them from their efforts to promote the vital interests of the infinitely precious Faith of God.
With loving Baha’i greetings,
Department of the Secretariat
