“primary duties” of Local Spiritual Assemblies
A prime element in the careful and wise direction needed is
the achievement of victory in the Seven Year Plan, paying great attention to
the development and strengthening of Local Assemblies. Great efforts must be
made to encourage them to discharge their primary duties of
- meeting
regularly,
- holding
the Nineteen Day Feasts and observing Holy Days,
- organizing
children's classes,
- encouraging
the practice of family prayers,
- undertaking
extension teaching projects,
- administering
the Baha'i Fund and
- constantly
encouraging and leading their communities in all Baha'i activities.
