128 MEMBERSHIP RESPONSIBILITIES, LSA
(Residential Qualifications)
"...it is only too obvious that unless a member can attend regularly the meetings of his local Assembly, it would be impossible for him to discharge the duties incumbent upon him, and to fulfill his responsibilities, as a representative of the community. Membership in a Local Spiritual Assembly carries with it, indeed, an obligation and capacity to remain in close touch with local Baha'i activities, and ability to attend regularly the sessions of the Assembly." (48:1)
