The gradual development of the Bahá’í community’s administrative structures and the refinement of its associated processes are areas that have received significant attention since the inception of the Bahá’í Faith.
The energy that Bahá’ís devote to enhancement of institutional capacity is not motivated simply by a wish to increase the efficiency with which the Bahá’í community’s own affairs are managed. They recognize in this development a necessary contribution to the pattern of a new social order envisaged by Bahá’u’lláh, to the new ways that a mature humanity will attend to its political, social, and cultural affairs.
