abstract note	The transitional period of the Bahá'í Faith is absorbing. The significance of historical events is magnified by the hold of new imperatives and new emerging realities as well as by a landscape increasingly cluttered with discredited political and organizational alternatives. This book organizes ideas around a unique theme - the establishment of the Universal House of Justice - and its corollary - loyalty to a special leadership which draws cultures and societies towards a unitary center supported by the universal appeal to order and a loving authority. Social forces that allow for civilization to advance must crystallize into institutions to be immortalized. With history moving in only one direction, it is the ultimate responsibility of this supreme institution to assure that it continues to its goal of becoming the Ark of human salvation.
