MESSAGE:
The Universal House of Justice has asked us to reply as follows to your
email of 20 November 1997 concerning the proposed Internet newsgroup
"talk.religion.bahai."
To a previous inquiry about the proposal addressed by an individual to
the House of Justice, we conveyed the following reply on its behalf:
The House of Justice does not feel that it can comment on the validity
or appropriateness of various reasons for voting for or against the
proposed newsgroup. Individual Baha'is who are interested in the
matter must come to their own decision, based upon the dictates of
their conscience and their understanding of the principles of the
Faith.
The clear purpose of this statement was to indicate that the House of
Justice
did not wish to get involved in this matter, since it feels that the friends
should not need its guidance in this instance and are free to make their own
decision.
