An extract from a talk by Paul Lample, a member of the Bahai Universal House of Justice, at the August 2014 Association for Bahai Studies of North America Conference in Ottawa, Canada.
It is hopefull that there are thinkers such as you among the administraters. it is hard however to imagine to have to consulate with those who are not accepting the basic premesis you laid down, nay it is a sacrifice that the most inteligents cannot fathom till they exprienceing it themselves. God be with you
Dear Mr. Lample, I love the simplicity with which you explain this issue, however, I see a problem which can bring discord, eg, lets say the UHJ writes to an individual and clarifies an issue, however when the writing of the UHJ is presented to an NSA the secretary personally disregards the writing from the UHJ and is convinced he is right and the individual Baha'i is wrong, how can the individual Baha'i explain that the UHJ is infallible while the secretary is not without creating discord
My humble suggestion is that it may be politely pointed out that the Assembly read and study that portion of. Kitab e. Aqdas where Baha'u'llah confirms that the. Universal House will be under His Wings and guided by and through Him and is the infallible body..Any true. Baha'i will accept it
'investigation of reality' at 6.50. a notion close to action research, appreciative inquiry, and critical participatory action research having as its purpose 'to change social practices, including research practice itself, to make them more rational and reasonable, more productive and sustainable, and more just and inclusive'.

@@ThozamileNomvete I'll quote the Bible: God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment: "How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Selah Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked." They have neither knowledge nor understanding, they walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken. I said, "You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you; nevertheless, like men you shall die, and fall like any prince." Arise, O God, judge the earth; for you shall inherit all the nations! Psalms 82:1-8 ESV
