BAHA'I YEAR 1 3 1 JULY 1974

Planning for UN days should begin To Bahi'i Communities and Groups,

Dear Bahi'i Friends,

The spirit that will be engendered at the St. Louis Conference should propel us into a strenuous, sys- tematic, and intensive teaching campaign when we return to our communities. But you will not want to wait until fall to formulate teaching plans, reserve meeting rooms, 'and invite speakers for early au- tumn events.

You will soon be receiving materials in prepara- tion for United Nations World Development Infor- mation Day, October 24, and Human Rights Day, December 10. The packet will include an article explaining why we should support the United Na-

f- tions and why we celebrate World Development Information Day; a list of materials which should be ordered immediately if you plan to have them in time for your October meeting; a suggested timetable to aid your planning; sample press releases for World Development Information Day and Human Rights Day; and Report Forms for each event to be filled out and returned to this office. You will also find a copy of President Nixon's Proclamation for International Women's Year 1975, a year designated by the Unit- ed Nations in which to focus universal attention on the elimination of discrimination against women. The National Spiritual Assembly's directions for the observance of International Women's Year by the American Bahi'i Community will be made known later in the year.

In the past, Bah6'i communities and groups have had diverse experiences in cooperating with United Nations Associations in their own area and in hold- ing public meetings. Wisdom on your part may dic- tate a different type of observance in your own or your goal community.

These United Nations events can be celebrated in a variety of ways. Potlucks, coffees, teas, recep- tions, luncheons, dinner parties, banquets, open houses, musical programs, displays, film showings in high schools or colleges, panel discussions, sym- posiums, awards , contests of various kinds --even a fireside or a deepening class on the United

Nations Development Program or on racial pre- judice, "The Most Challenging Issue," qualify as observances of these two occasions, and most of them can be publicized.

If our Bahi'i United Nations Of be of service, please call upon us, and do F sit the United Nations booth at the St. Louis Lonlerence.

Architects sought The Universal House of Justice will soon be consider-

ing the selection of architects for the Maariqu'l-AdI~kBrs to be erected in India and Samoa.

Those wishing to be considered as architects for either of these Temples are invited to submit statements of their qualifications. Such submissions may include examples of work previously designed andlor executed and, if de- sired, any thoughts or concepts of proposed designs for the Temples may be expressed in whatever way the ap- plicant chooses. ,

The design of each Temple will be developed by the architect selected in relation to the climate, environment and culture of the area where i t is to be built.

The initiation of construction of these Temples is a goal of the current Five Year Plan, and consequently those interested should forward their submissions at an early date to the Universal House of Justice, Bahs'i World Centre, P.O. Box 155, Haifa 31-000, Israel.

stricts to majority

coincide of cases

The National Spiritual Assembly has decided that, in so far as it is possible, teaching districts and electoral districts should be the same. A teaching district is a state, or a portion thereof, with a District Teaching Committee; an electoral district, on the other hand, is a state, or a portion thereof, in which all the believers vote together as a unit to elect delegates to the National Convention. The two types of districts have not always coincided; however, the National Assembly has made an effort this year to reconcile their boundaries by making changes in electoral districts in eleven states. These changes, as well as the complete list of electoral districts by state, are listed below. Further details will be pub- lished in regional or district bulletins.

The following eleven states have had changes in their electoral districts: Delaware: Now part of the new electoral district, DelMar Va. Maryland1D.C: Includes mainland Maryland only. Peninsula of Maryland is part of DelMarVa.

Virginia, N: Includes mainland Virginia only. Peninsula is part of DelMarVa. Idaho, S: Is now the electoral as well as the teaching district. WashingtonlIdaho: New electoral district compris- ing eastern Washington and northern Idaho. Wis-Mich: New electoral district comprising north- ern Wisconsin and the northern peninsula of Michigan. Michigan: Now comprises the "mainland" only. Oklahoma: Now has two electoral as well as teach- ing districts. Boundaries are the same as for teaching districts. Minnesota: Now has two electoral as well as teaching districts. Boundaries are the same as for teaching districts. South Carolina, E: Now consists of three electoral and teaching districts: Eastern 1 , Eastern 2, and Eastern 3. Check your regional bulletin for bound- aries. South Carolina, N: Now consists of two electoral and teaching districts: Northern 1 and Northern 2. Check your regional bulletin for boundaries. Arizona: Yuma County has been transferred from the southern to the northern electoral district, thus making the teaching and electoral dis t r ic ts synonymous.

New Plan a forecas~ for Faith To: All Local Spiritual Assemblies

and Bahii'i Groups

Dear Bahi'i Friends: "The Temple is already built!" With this assertion 'Abdu'l-Bahh, as He laid the

cornerstone for the House of Worship in Wilrnette in 1912, expressed His unshakable confidence in the realization of this mighty project. That solitary stone was all that lay in the open field representing the majestic edifice to be reared on it. The believers present on that day r the Master could have m , for their members were fi iger. His divine foresight was, however, fully supported by succeeding events: Our com~nunity overcame the obstacles of two worlci wars and a severe and pro- longed econolnic depression to fulfill the beloved Master's expectation.

must ha1 ade such ew and tt

qe wondc I a bold s leir resoi

Today in a similar spirit we may say that the Five Year Plan is already won. The Plan was formulated by the infallibly guided Universal House of Justice, following the pattern of the Master's Tablets of the Divine Plan. The new Plan is in a sense a confident forecast of how the BahL'i Faith will expand in the next half-decade.

Transforming it into reality is the assured privilege of every believer. Success will depend on how well we perceive the needs of the Plan, set our goals, and work to achieve them. Many souls are- ready to receive the Message of Bahii'u'llih. Only we can provide the resources to reach them.
