Dear Stephen, This was a theory proposed by Tony Lee and Juan Cole which the BUPC picked up on. The House of Justice rejected that theory in the following letter: http://bahai-library.com/uhj/women.uhj.html In my opinion the absence of a living Guardian makes it impossible for women to serve on the Universal House of Justice in this dispensation because no one has the authority to change the interpretations which have already been given by Abdu'l-Baha and Shoghi Effendi. Tony Lee and Juan Cole's paper largely ignore the Guardian's authoritative interpretation. If the Universal House of Justice were to do this it would mutilate the Cause in a way the Guardian assured us would never happen. warmest, Susan __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:arch...@mail-archive.com Unsubscribe: send a blank email to mailto:leave-483234-274...@list.jccc.edu Subscribe: send subscribe bahai-st in the message body to ly...@list.jccc.edu Or subscribe: http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/all_forums/subscribe?name=bahai-st Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:bahai-st@list.jccc.edu Web - http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/?forum=bahai-st News (on-campus only) - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai...@list.jccc.net New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.edu
