On a Baha’i Election: Quiet intensity of focus

ohoh2golly, my friend on flickr and in life, has a simply marvelous series of 39 photos conveying in vivid black and white the quiet intensity of focus with which Baha’i approach the electoral process. The photos are of the 1971 District Convention in Seattle, Washington, at which the delegates were to be elected who would go in the Spring of 1972 to the Baha’i National Convention in Wilmette, Illinois, to vote for the membership of the National Spiritual Assembly.  It is the membership of National Spiritual Assemblies from around the world who in turn vote for the Universal House of Justice every five years, as they are  doing almost at this present moment,

Ya Bahá’u'l Abha.
