…the House of
Justice feels that it would be beneficial for you to separate in your mind the
training institute process, so intimately connected with the promotion of
large-scale expansion and consolidation, from the many deepening classes,
workshops and summer school courses that form a fundamental part of Bahá’í
community life. Their number and diversity actually seem to be on the rise as a
result of the institute process. Indeed, you will be reassured to know that, as
the believers gain confidence in their capacity to serve through the institute
process, a much richer expression of the diverse talents of the friends is
beginning to appear in the Bahá’í world—a richness that bodes well for the
future progress of the Cause.

behalf of the Universal House of Justice to an individual believer)
