To all believers in the United Kingdom
Dearly loved Friends,
As you will be aware, a by-election was recently called to fill the vacancy in the membership of the National Spiritual Assembly following Mrs. Annabel Djalili’s appointment to serve as an Auxiliary Board member for protection in the East of England. The by-election has now been completed, and it is with great pleasure that we announce that Dr. Ronnie Yousefzadeh Bindra has been elected to serve as a new member of the National Assembly.
With loving Bahá’í greetings,
Patrick O’Mara,
Secretary

Opportunities to serve at the Bahá’í World Centre
As the vital work of the Cause unfolds in every part of the world, the effective functioning of the Bahá’í World Centre takes on added significance. The World Centre of the Faith––described by Shoghi Effendi as the “pivot of the agencies of the New World Order”––is supported by a flow of believers from a diversity of countries and occupations who arise selflessly to offer a period of service, of varying length, in the Holy Land. The staffing needs at the World Centre are continually changing in light of the evolving demands and available resources. At any given time, there are roles to be filled which require particular competencies or specialized training, and others that simply require a readiness to learn about one’s specific assignment. Due to the nature of service at the World Centre, the essential requirements include an ability to offer 12 months or more and a basic proficiency in English.
Anyone interested in learning more about the possibility of offering a period of service at the World Centre is encouraged to contact the Office of Personnel at serve@bwc.org. Offers of service can also be submitted directly at our new website: https://service.bwc.org/.
