Don, you said: "And you don't think that would be contrary to the statement I pointed out?" "Any actions, however, which savour of factionalism, of mobilizing pressure, or of stirring up contention among the Baha'is would be an inadmissible intrusion of the spirit of partisan politics into Baha'i� community life." Not the way I'm imagining it. There might be something in the way I'm imagining it, that didn't get through. The way I'm imagining it, the person is not trying to create a faction, or mobilize pressure, or stir up contention among the Baha'is. I do see a possibility that if she does as I'm suggesting, it might have one or more of those effects, whether she means for it to or not. If she sees that possibility, and is not careful to avoid it, then I would say that she's not acting within the spirit of what Baha'u'llah has prescribed.
