Turning Point - Selected Messages of the Universal House of Justice and Supplementary Material - 1996–2006

Beginning with the Four Year Plan in 1996, the Universal House of Justice set a new course in the teaching work for individuals, communities, and institutions. "The next four years," the Supreme Body wrote, "will represent an extraordinary period in the history of our Faith, a turning point of epochal magnitude." So potent were the implications of that Plan, that its single aim of advancing the process of entry by troops was carried forward into a series of plans, to span twenty-five years until the end the first century of the Formative Age in 2021. This book contains selected messages from the Universal House of Justice and other documents that guided the learning process of the Bahá'í world over the course of a decade, from 1996-2006, resulting in profound changes in consciousness and systematic action. By the end of this period, the House of Justice concluded, "The elements required for a concerted effort to infuse the diverse regions of the world with the spirit of Bahá'u'lláh's Revelation have crystallized into a framework for action that now needs only to be exploited."

Creating A New Mind

With the conclusion of the Four Year Plan, the Faith has passed through a critical moment both in the "scheme of Bahá'í and world history." During this time, the Universal House of Justice called upon the individual, the institutions, and the community to become more systematic in their efforts to advance the process of entry by troops, and beyond, to build a new civilization. This book reexamines the nature of each of these protagonists and focuses on the process of learning in the light of divine guidance that lies at the heart of our ability to progress toward the purpose intended by Bahá'u'lláh. The subjects raised are central to the progress of the Bahá'í world in coming decades.
