Prayers for Faith in Persia- Call upon all believers to join me in special, fervent prayers for Divine protection of the vital interests and complete emancipation from shackles of the beloved Faith in Baha'u'llah's native land. (86:5) Appointment to International Baha'i Council- Announce to National Assemblies the number of the members of the International Council has been raised to nine through appointment of Sylvia Ioas. (86:6) Implications and Requirements- Impelled at this grave hour in the chequered history of the over century-old, world-encompassing, repeatedly-persecuted yet undefeatable Faith, to summon the entire body of the valorous upholders of its institutions who, severally and collectively, stand pledged to the prosecution of the mightiest crusade launched since its inception, whether residing in homelands or overseas, however repressive the regimes under which they labor, to ponder anew the full implications and essential requirements of their stewardship of the Cause of Baha'u'llah.
(86:7)
