By-election for two members of Universal House of Justice
HAIFA, Israel 19 January 2005 (BWNS) -- In a letter dispatched to all
National Spiritual Assemblies, the Universal House of Justice announced
its approval of requests by two of its members, Mr. Douglas Martin and
Mr. Ian Semple, for permission to relinquish their membership on the
Body owing to considerations of age and the related needs of the Faith.

They will continue to serve on the House of Justice until a by-election
to replace them is completed.  The results of the by-election will be
announced at Naw-Ruz (21 March 2005).
