Dearly loved Friends,
The National Spiritual Assembly is pleased to share with you the results of its election, which this year was again conducted by post and through electronic voting in light of the ongoing health crisis. All 95 delegates participated in the election. Members elected were:
Viv Craig, Annabel Djalili, Shirin Fozdar-Foroudi, Wendi Momen, Patrick O’Mara, Vafa Ram, Darren Smith, Olinga Tahzib, Robert Weinberg.
The National Spiritual Assembly is humbled and deeply honoured to serve the Bahá’í community of the United Kingdom. As we enter together the third epoch of the Master’s Divine Plan, we beseech your prayers to enable the National Assembly to arise to the challenges of the One Year Plan:
In this year-long effort, every community must draw on whatever untapped potential it may possess and seek to overcome any obstacles that are impeding its growth, thereby preparing it for the demands to come. For it is within the context of a flourishing community, especially a centre of intense activity in a village or neighbourhood, and when each element of the Plan’s framework is given the attention it requires, that those elements most visibly cohere and connect, multiplying the community’s powers in the field of action.
The Universal House of Justice, To the Bahá’ís of the World, 25 November 2020
With loving Bahá’í greetings,
Patrick O’Mara,
Outgoing Secretary
