Earth is But One Country by -J. Huddleston- 2 Para

Once elected, a Baha'i should not resign his office unless there are most exceptional circumstances.. (98:5)

"...Under special circumstances, such as illness, one may do so (resign), but only after, and never before he has been elected to the membership of the Assembly. Personal differences and disagreements among Assembly members surely afford no sufficient ground.. and cannot justify absence from assembly meetings. Through the clash of personal opinions, as 'Abdul-Baha has stated, the spark of truth is often ignited, and divine guidance revealed." (Shoghi Effendi) (98:6)
