>>On the other hand I think you go far beyond anything which is expicitly found in the Writings when you assert that Abdu'l-Baha established a Guardianship knowing it would end with Shoghi Effendi.>>
"That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that the Master designated the House of Justice to function with the Guardian, with the Guardian's representative, or without the Guardian. The Second Part of the Will, which expressly provides for the elected membership to convene and make decisions which "have the same effect as the Text itself" during the childhood of Shoghi Effendi;" Dear Brent, I would agree with that. And the very fact that He expected to die during Shoghi Effendi's childhood would suggest He did not 'fortune-tell' in regards to what would happen to the Guardianship, as Ahang puts it. warmest, Susan __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:[email protected] To unsubscribe, send a blank email to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, use subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:[email protected] Web - http://list.jccc.edu/read/?forum=bahai-st News - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Public - http://www.escribe.com/religion/bahaist Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]
