It is natural that any given educational program would not
appeal to everyone, and clearly participating in the courses of an institute is
not a requirement to be fulfilled by all believers. In no way, then, should
those who do not wish to take part feel that they are disobeying the directives
of the Universal House of Justice. It does ask, however, that everyone, even
those not involved, support the institute process and not impede its steady
progress.

House of Justice to an individual believer)
