Communities of Bahá'ís whose adult members number less than nine. Bahá'í groups have no administrative status but are encouraged to hold their own Nineteen Day Feasts and to teach. When a Bahá'í group increases to nine or more members, generally a local spiritual assembly will be formed at the next Riḍván. Occasionally there are Bahá'í groups of more than nine where it is impossible by law. or inadvisable, to form a local spiritual assembly. |
