 To the American Bahá’í community Dearest Bahá’í Friends, The Bahá’í World News Service (BWNS)―familiar to many of you as an online source of high-quality reporting on wide-ranging developments of interest to and affecting the worldwide Bahá’í community―has in recent days augmented its offerings in an important way by making them available not only in English but in French and Spanish, thus readily accessible to a significant portion of the world’s population. In a message to this effect recently circulated to selected National Spiritual Assemblies, the Universal House of Justice applauds the News Service’s regular provision of “a window on certain dimensions of how the members of the Bahá’í community are applying the teachings of Bahá’u’lláh and striving to contribute to the betterment of society.” Its features and insights, the House of Justice further notes, “have increasingly stimulated meaningful conversations amongst Bahá’ís and their friends” enabling the News Service to emerge “as a promising instrument to reinforce the current endeavours of the Bahá’í community.” A link to the News Service is already accessible by choosing “International Bahá’í Resources” from the “Resources” column of the menu on the landing page of our national Bahá’í website (at www.bahai.us). A link to BWNS has also been placed at the top of the landing page of the member services section of the website, accessible after logging in. We strongly encourage you to make use of BWNS and to share its content with friends, thereby, in the Supreme Body’s words, “increasing the number of people around the world who are drawing on this valuable resource.” With loving Bahá’í greetings,  Kenneth E. Bowers Secretary |
