| | THE PRINCIPLES OF MASONIC LAW by ALBERT GALLATIN MACKEY |
| | The interrogatories propounded to the Master of a lodge at the time of his installation, and which, from their universal adoption, without alteration, by the whole fraternity, are undoubtedly to be considered as a part of the fundamental law of Masonry. | | | And it is now admitted that the Master of a lodge, to do justice to the exalted office which he holds, to the craft over whom he presides, and to the candidates whom he is to instruct, should be not only a man of irreproachable moral character, but also of expanded intellect and liberal education. | | | He is supreme in his lodge, so far as the lodge is concerned, being amenable for his conduct in the government of it, not to its members, but to the Grrand Lodge alone. |

| | With the unexpected Passing of Shoghi Effendi in 1957, the question of successorship was left to the decision of the Universal House of Justice, which was not scheduled to be elected until 1963. | | | As outlined in the Will and Testament of `Abdu'l-Bahá, the roles and functions of the institutions of the Guardianship and the Universal House of Justice were clearly complementary: the Guardianship's function was interpretive, while the function of the Universal House of Justice was legislative. | | | While Bahá'ís remind us that many provisions of the Aqdas (including this one) have not yet begun to be applied (the Universal House of Justice is to decide when the time is ripe), this arguably only postpones the problem (if such it be). |

| | Women of the House |
| | One of the best-known controversies in the Bahá'í Faith is rooted in the exclusion of women from the Guardianship (the individual office of the Guardian) and the Universal House of Justice (UHJ). | | | Since the Universal House of Justice is a world institution, service on it by women required that world-wide standards of women's literacy, education, experience with administration and politics, and other aspects of "spiritual masculinity" be met before they could be admitted to it. | | | According to the ordinances of the Faith of God, women are the equals of men in all rights save only that of membership on the [`umumi] House of Justice, for, as hath been stated in the text of the Book, both the head and the members of the House of Justice must be men. |

| | The Universal House of Justice itself has stated that the ineligibility of women for membership of the Universal House of Justice cannot be adduced as evidence of the superiority of men over women. | | | In accordance with universally applied Bahá'í electoral principles, there are no nominations for the members of the Universal House of Justice, nor is electioneering permitted. | | | It is notable that out of all Bahá'í institutions, whether elective or appointive, the Universal House of Justice is the sole instance where the membership is restricted to men. |
