Baha'u'llah & the New Era 2006 by -J. Esslemont- 1 Para

By Spiritual Assembly is meant the administrative body of nine persons, elected annually by each local Baha'i community, in which is vested the authority of decision on all matters of mutual action on the part of the community. This designation is temporary, since in future the Spiritual Assemblies will be termed Houses of Justice (116:2)
