Dear Baha'i friends,
With great joy we announce that we have decided to increase
the total number of members of the Continental Boards of Counsellors for the
Protection and Propagation of the Faith to thirty-eight by adding John McHenry
III to the Continental Board of Counsellors in North East Asia and Mas'ud
Khamsi to the Continental Board of Counsellors in South America, raising the
number of Counsellors on each Board to three and four, respectively.
We also rejoice to announce the appointment of Mrs Shirin
Boman to the Continental Board of Counsellors of Western Asia to fill a vacancy
on that Board.
The devoted efforts of all eleven Continental Boards of
Counsellors during the first year of their service to the Faith of Baha'u'llah
have been most exemplary and praiseworthy.
We are deeply grateful for the loyalty, steadfastness and devotion which
have characterized the activities of all members in reinforcing the vitally
important work of the Hands of the Cause of God.
Please share these glad tidings with the friends.
With loving Baha'i greetings,
The Universal House of Justice
