FUNDamentals

From the Editor—Special Issue of FUNDamentals

We interrupt our regular publication schedule to bring you urgent news, news that’s important for your spiritual development and possibly for your professional advancement!

First, take a look at the critical state of the National Fund and what you can do to fulfill the “fundamental spiritual obligation” the Universal House of Justice says all Baha'is have to contribute to the Funds. The need is especially critical at this time as we’ve raised just $13.5 million of the $25 million goal, with only one month left to go.

Second, there are a number of positions open in the Office of the Treasurer, one of which might be right up your alley! We need people skilled in a bunch of things, from finance to education, from banking to writing, from accounting to marketing. We’d love to hear from you.

Join us next month for our Spring issue, where we’ll be talking about the annual revolutionary election process known as National Convention, more about how to handle your money, and even provide you with some money tools to get a hold of your finances. Stay tuned!

An Opportunity to Prove Your Readiness

Shoghi Effendi, in a letter to the National Spiritual Assembly of India, wrote that, “Every Baha'i, no matter how poor, must realize what a grave responsibility he has to shoulder… and should have confidence that his spiritual progress as a believer in the World Order of Baha'u'llah will largely depend upon the measure in which he proves, in deeds, his readiness to support materially the divine institutions of His Faith.”

Baha'is all over the US have a special opportunity to support materially, and spiritually, the institution of the National Fund in an hour of great need.

The Office of the Treasurer has a number of positions open, from internships to supervisor, ranging in skill sets from straight up budget analysis to offering presentations on behalf of the National Spiritual Assembly.  And, honestly, working for the National Spiritual Assembly is pretty great.
