Presentations by Mr. Bill Davis
Bill Davis says the audience has been given the Message of the Universal House of Justice dated 20 October 1983. He advises them to find paragraph three. He explains that the message embraces “organic change”. He asks the audience to consider what might the difference be between Bahá’í development and secular social and economic development. And then further asks how social and economic development fits into Bahá’í Administration. Bahá’ís of the West should ask their Iranian brothers and sisters what it was like to live in a “real” Bahá’í community. They have a lot to offer us.
Mr. Davis William introduced himself first. He was the host for the workshop. He conducted consultation with Bahá'ís from all walks of life on community life and the feast. Mr. Davis addressed the various Cultures of the Bahá'í community that need to emerge to that they need to learn to share with each other. It will help us to grow together and create a common Bahá'í culture. As he had experienced the capacity of the Baha'i community is now greater than 14 years ago. Bahá'ís from many cultures and races are working on economic and development projects.
The first nearly seven minutes are taken up with prayer and the introduction of Mr. Davis. Bill Davis lays out a roadmap for his talk. He reviews the major issues that face courts, both in the states and in the federal system as well. He also addresses those Bahá’í principles that guide his work in the court system. He explains what judicial administration refers to as it relates to the courts. The California court system alone handles 20,000,000 cases a year. They have the largest judicial system in the U.S., even larger than the federal system. There are 1,800 judges and commissioners.
