From time to time the Spiritual Assembly issues statements on behalf of the
local Bahá'í community on matters of current public interest or
concern. These may be released to the media or addressed to official bodies
seeking views. Some of these are available on the Website. They do not include
routine press releases on activities, which are issued regularly and usually
featured in local media. The statements should not be taken as general and
authoritative or speaking on behalf of the wider Bahá'í
community.
