The Baha'i Studies Listserv There was a case in the LSA where it was decided that one of the members would give a deepening. This member later indicated they weren't comfortable with doing it and would not. Right at this time we had an offer from an ABM assistant to do the deepening for us. I indicated I would invite this person to do it but another member raised objections that I could not do this without a majority decision from the LSA reversing the initial decision. This raises some questions about procedure that I wonder if anyone has quotations on. I do not believe that if a person later decides they don't want to do a deepening you need to have a majority speak up saying that is ok. In this case it wasn't that the majority were saying the person should still do the deepening but that most weren't giving their opinion at all. I would have thought that in such a situation a person has the right to decide not to give a deepening. I don't see that as going against the original LSA decision anyway since they later found they could not do it.
