| International Bahá'í Bureau |
|
| An office set up in Geneva in 1925 following a visit to Haifa of Mrs Stannard. It was designed to promote in Europe the affairs of the Faith as well as to stimulate its international functions throughout the world. The work of the Bureau was encouraged and directed by Shoghi Effendi, who wrote of it: ‘Geneva is auxiliary to the Centre in Haifa. It does not assume the place of Haifa, but is auxiliary. It exercises no international authority; it does not try to impose, but helps and acts as intermediary between Haifa and other Bahá'I centres.'11 The Bureau was recognized by the League of Nations and its bulletin, Messager Bahá'í, was published in English, French and German. The work of the International Bahá'i Bureau was largely taken over by the Bahá'I International Community. |
