[edit] Hands of the Cause

It's mostly quotes with almost no text, and there's a main article. I recommend we use the {{main}} template and migrate most of those quotes to that page. It just seems cleaner.

Not sure. These are key concepts in Baha'i divisions, and it seems clearer to quote the provisions rather than summarize. Editorializing these will open it up to interpretation and edit conflicts over that. It also creates the opportunity to introduce some of the (just corrected) mistakes found in "The Guardianship and the Universal House of Justice" sub-section.
  1. The Guardian is not the Center of the Covenant — `Abdu'l-Baha is.
  2. `Abdu'l-Baha did not establish the House of Justice or give it authority to address issues not found in the writings — Baha'u'llah did. (Tablets, pg. 68)
  3. It's not a "duty" of the Guardian to appoint Hands — it's a right.
I do think that we are about at the limit with respect to size. MARussellPESE 14:42, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
