Numerous
letters, articles and commentaries addressing the importance of the
continuation of the Guardianship, the critical center of the World Order of
Baha’u’llah, was written and originally dispatched to the Baha’i world by Joel
Bray Marangella since his appointment as successor to the Guardianship of
the Baha’i Faith by Charles Mason Remey, second Guardian of the Faith, via both
direct mailing and through postings on the Internet. Selected communications
were also published in a book titled The World Order of Baha’u’llah
Continues to Unfold. In this latest book by the Guardian titled, In
Defense of the Continuing Guardianship, he has focused on providing
undeniable proof, as found in both the Will and Testament of Abdu’l Baha and in
the writings of Shoghi Effendi, including his historic messages to the Baha’i
world during the closing seven years of his ministry, which in complete
accordance with the Will and Testament of Abdu’l Baha, had undeniably
faithfully provided for the continuance of the Guardianship following his
passing. Consequently this essential and highest Institution of Baha’i
Administrative Order had not come to an untimely and tragic end as falsely and
blindly claimed by the then Hands of the Cause of the Baha’i Faith (With a
single notable exception).
