Dear Librarian 10 March 2010As a service for readers residing beyond metropolitan Adelaide my wife and I as representatives of the Bahá'ís of South Australia have recently provided many libraries in regional areas with a complimentary copy of THE BAHA'I FAITH by Paula Hartz.Please consider accepting it for your shelves. These points may assist your decision:* The Rudd government and the Howard government in recent years have issued several official requests from the Australian Senate calling on Tehran to end the persecution of Iran's largest religious minority - the Bahá'ís.* Bahá'í Education in State Schools (BESS) has received governmental approval in excess of a decade now. For those parents who want their children to receive spiritual education based on the Bahá'í model BESS is an ongoing fait accompli in hundreds of primary and high schools in Australia. This service is also without charge. (The Bahá'í Faith accepts donations from no source other than our own avowed members. No coercion is involved. There is no registering of the donors.)* The book we ask you to include in your library, showcasing the award winning Shrine of the Báb in Haifa, is not a Bahá'í publication per se, nor was its author a member of our faith. The work emanates via .com from New York's `Chelsea House' and forms just one in a famous series describing in detail various religions: Baha'i Faith - World Religions 3rd edition. 2009. Paula R Hartz. ISBN: 978-1-60413-104-8We hope to visit libraries in your area in the next couple of weeks to hand over with your permission this superb addition to your range of books.Sincerely yoursPaul and Velanta Desailly50 Bevan cresWhyalla 5608AustraliaTEL: 0448515234
