Universal House of Justice statement that World Religion Day "is a celebration of the need for and the coming of a world religion for mankind, the Bahá'í Faith itself."

The following content was deleted with statement that "Reverting duplicate content—this is already included in the lead."

In 1968, the Universal House of Justice, the highest elected body in the Bahá'í administrative order, sent a letter to the Local Spiritual Assembly of Chicago stating that World Religion Day "is a celebration of the need for and the coming of a world religion for mankind, the Bahá'í Faith itself. Although there have been many ways of expressing the meaning of this celebration in Bahá'í communities in the United States, the Day was not meant primarily to provide a platform for all religions and their emergent ecumenical ideas."^[1]

This material was in fact not in the lead, but belongs there. Regards, A35821361 (talk) 19:30, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You copied and pasted a paragraph you had added in this edit when the same information was already summarized in the paragraph directly below, with the same quote and the same citation, resulting in duplicate content and a duplicate citation. I'll assume that the "material" you're referring to was the four words "the Bahá'í Faith itself" which you added in this edit, along with more duplicate content. That "material" is fine, but I've removed the rest. In the future, please be more careful with your edits to avoid creating unnecessary work for other editors. dragfyre_ʞןɐʇc 20:29, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
