Members of the newly elected National Spiritual Assembly of the United States

In prayerful silence, 171 delegates at the 100th U.S. Bahá’í National Convention elected the nine members of the National Spiritual Assembly, which, in lieu of clergy, governs the 160,000 members of the Faith in this country.

The election took place on May 24 at the Bahá’í House of Worship in Wilmette, Ill. Bahá’í delegates in virtually every country of the world gathered on or near that day to elect their own National Spiritual Assemblies.

Members of the National Spiritual Assembly of the United States are: Jacqueline Left Hand Bull, David F. Young, Kenneth E. Bowers, Juana C. Conrad, William L.H. Roberts, Dorothy W. Nelson, Muin Afnani, Erica Toussaint and Robert C. Henderson.

Be not content with the ease of a passing day, and deprive not thyself of everlasting rest. Barter not the garden of eternal delight for the dust-heap of a mortal world.
