Judge Valente (76).


Ruth White. Abdul Baha's Questioned Will and Testament.
Beverly Hills: White, 1946.

 "During the lifetime of Abdu'l Baha the attempts of the National
Spiritual Assembly of Baha'is to
organize the Bahai Religion were held in abeyance, but after he passed
from this world, under the
dictates of Shoghi Effendi, they swung it into an organization the like of
which has not been seen
since the dark ages. They tried to exercise the power over the Bahai world
that Baha'u'llah said
would be vested in the SUPREME TRIBUNAL of the future world governments.
In order to enforce this
power they excommunicated those who would not accept their pronouncements,
and twice the members of
the National Assembly sued at law in order to try and prevent other Bahais
from promulgating the
religion which they held in common; but, fortunately, they lost both these
suits. Judge Valente,
reprimanding them, reminded them of the Bill of Rights, which grants
freedom to every man to
practice his religion unmolested. All of this the reader can learn in the
ensuing pages" (76).
