On May 30th 1997, The Universal House of Justice wrote to all National Spiritual Assemblies about the establishment of Regional Bahá'í Councils as a means to advance the development of the administration of the Bahá'í Faith across the globe.
The Regional Bahá'í Council's primary duty is to oversee the expansion and consolidation efforts in programs of growth around the region. In adopting its goals and plans, the Council of the Atlantic States draws heavily on guidance from senior institutions, including the Universal House of Justice, the Continental Counselors, and its National Spiritual Assembly, and it relies on the dedicated efforts of a steadily-increasing pool of human resources in clusters, localities, and neighborhoods throughout Delaware, Maryland, Washington, D.C., and North Carolina in its pursuit of the transformation of society.
The Council invites you to explore, in the following sections and pages, the goals establsihed by the Council and the mecahnisms through which service might be rendered.
Mode of Learning
Mode of Learning
It is evident, then, that the systems and instruments developed by Regional Councils must serve to further the pattern of growth unfolding at the cluster level and the learning process associated with it. What is essential to recognize, however, is that only if such systems and instruments emerge out of a process of learning undertaken by the Councils themselves, as they strive to foster conditions conducive to growth in their regions, will the administrative mechanisms put in place be effective.
(From a letter dated 24 June 2010 written on behalf of the Universal House of Justice)A mode of operation characterized by learning accepts as a matter of principle that not all factors can be—indeed, nor should be—controlled. Much can best be understood by working alongside the friends in the field of action or by engaging them in discussions in meetings and gatherings of various kinds.
