Dearly loved friends,
The National Spiritual Assembly is delighted to share with you a message it has received from the Prime Minister, the Rt Hon Theresa May MP, sent on the occasion of the bicentenary of the Birthday of Bahá’u’lláh. We are deeply grateful to the Prime Minister for her kind and generous remarks.
THE PRIME MINISTER
10 Downing Street
London SW1A 2AA
I am delighted to send the Bahá’í communities of the United Kingdom my warmest wishes to mark the bicentenary of the birth of Bahá’u’lláh.
The impact of Bahá’u’lláh’s teachings cannot be underestimated. His life, his teachings and his compassion continue to inspire people around the world, and we can all learn from his generosity and wisdom.
The UK Bahá’í community is an important part of British society. It contributes to a more peaceful and unified society through its commitment to universal education, equality and social progress.
Once again I send you my best wishes as Bahá’ís all over the country, along with those around the world, come together to commemorate the birth of Bahá’u’lláh.
[signed] Theresa May
