Certainly to ignore the body of the writings associated with the ministry of
Shoghi Effendi would be to mutilate the Faith by divorcing it from the
Guardianship.
However, to suggest that the body of the writings left to use from 1921-57
period will be sufficient for 1957-2863+ period is a bit of stretch for me.
When the line of the Guardianship terminated in 1957 we lost something very
precious. To ignore that loss is absurd.
The question is what are the implications of that loss? What are the impacts
on the scope of the House, the range of its infallibility, etc?

Ahang.
