Caption Shown here are some of the friends who attended the first Na- tional Convention to elect the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of the Mariana Islands. The Hand of the Cause of God Dr. Raḥmatu’lláh Muhájir, seated at the far left, represented the Universal House of Justice at the historic election. The Marianas Assembly is one of three formed from the National Spiritual Assembly of the North West Pacific Ocean. The others include the National Spiritual Assembly of the Carolines, which was formed this year and is the successor to the North West Pacific Assem- bly, and the National Spiritual Assembly of the Marshall Islands, which was formed for the first time in 1977. The historic formation of the first National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of the Mariana Islands took place May 26-28 at the National Convention in the ITC Building, Agana, Guam. Representing the Universal House of Justice was the Hand of the Cause of God Raḥmatu’lláh Muhájir. Others attending included Continental Counsellor Richard Benson; Auxiliary Board members Kazuko Bray, Virginia Breaks and Masaki Ushibata; and Hazel Mori and Rufo Laroya, who represented the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of the Philippine Islands. The election of this new pillar of the Universal House of Justice came almost 25 years after Cynthia Olson, a Knight of Bahá’u’lláh, first set foot in the Mariana Islands in 1953. Appropriately, she was present as a delegate, participating in the coming-of-age of the community she has served so steadfastly for so many years.
