This morning, on
Baha'i Beliefnet somebody said they were "confident" that the Baha'i institutions were responding to the disaster in South Asia, and that they had a "good record" in this area. I'm not convinced of either one.
I received a press release from the Baha'i World News Service this morning, and the big story is about the golden anniversary of the Faith in Burundi; this is the first news that's come out since the tsunami. If the UHJ is doing anything, it sure is keeping it quiet. So far, I haven't even seen a statement of condolences or anything.

Karen,
I agree that a statement from the House of Justice concerning this disaster would be important.
But personal reflections from individual belivers are also important.
I think it is about time to setup an International Intervention Force to help victims of natural disasters everywhere on the planet. Such a force should be coordinated by the UN.
Thanks for stopping by, Marco. I am as heartened by the efforts of individual Baha'is as I am disappointed by the lack of response from the administration. The whole world is pulling together in an amazing way to help the victims of this tragedy -- and that's what is important, after all.
