Social action refers to a range of activities undertaken in order to contribute to the material and social wellbeing of a community. The Universal House of Justice defined the sphere of social action as follows:
“ | Most appropriately conceived in terms of a spectrum, social action can range from fairly informal efforts of limited duration undertaken by individuals or small groups of friends to programmes of social and economic development with a high level of complexity and sophistication implemented by Bahá’í-inspired organizations. Irrespective of its scope and scale, all social action seeks to apply the teachings and principles of the Faith to improve some aspect of the social or economic life of a population, however modestly. | ” |
