The letter is here: I do not see any way for it to change, but I am willing to admit, my vision is not perfect. However the House ruled that it could not change that provision, House rulings in general, however, are reversable. IF, let me emphasize IF, the House were to run across new information they could change their minds on that decision as they can on any decision they make.   "The wisdom of it" will someday be as clear as the sun, what that wisdom will turn out to be, I cannot venture.   Regards,   Scott __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:archive@mail-archive.com To unsubscribe, send a blank email to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, use subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:bahai-st@list.jccc.edu Web - http://list.jccc.edu/read/?forum=bahai-st News - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Public - http://www.escribe.com/religion/bahaist Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.net New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.edu
