Spiritual Assemblies:
Before 'Abdu'l-Baha completed His earthly mission, He had laid a basis for the development of the administrative order established in Baha'u'llah's Writings. To show the high importance to be attributed to the institution of the Spiritual Assembly, 'Abdu'l-Baha in a tablet declared that a certain translation must be approved by the Spiritual Assembly of Cairo before publication, even though He Himself had reviewed and corrected the text (116:1)
