Dear Friends,
As you will know, the National Spiritual Assembly held its June 2001 meeting in Northern Ireland. In the course of this it had a most fruitful consultation with the Baháí Council, as well as a meeting with the Friends.
The Assembly is impressed with the progress being made in Northern Ireland in taking on and putting in to action the needs of the Five Year Plan. It was pleased with the good attendance at its meeting, and at the range and quality of the questions asked.
The National Spiritual Assembly sends you all its love and is confident of the capacity of your Bahá'í Council and community to rise to the challenges and opportunities that face the Faith and to carry it forward at this critical time in the fortunes of humankind.
With loving greetings,
National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá'ís of the United Kingdom.
