Footnote additions to The Kitáb-i-Aqdas: The Most Holy Book
Following the common implementation of the Badi‘ calendar, the Universal House of Justice has instructed that four explanatory footnotes be added to the Notes section of The Kitab-i-Aqdas: The Most Holy Book. These changes will be incorporated into all future editions of the book. For more information about the new footnotes, see PDF or click here.
Assistance sought with Web-based projects
The National Spiritual Assembly would like to hear from friends who have expertise in web development, especially using WordPress, and Excel. Please contact nsa@bahai.org.uk if you have the skills to assist with a number of ongoing projects.
Pre-publication review
The friends are reminded that any Bahá’í literature, articles or audio-visual items which are to be sold or circulated widely must be submitted for pre‑publication review. This is to safeguard the Faith from misrepresentation and to ensure the dignity and accuracy of presentation. Find out more about the review process for literature, audio visual items and academic works here.
