Regarding arrangements for the Baha’i
Sunday meeting for the purpose of worship, this is very suitable. But, in a
meeting for worship, first, prayer should be chanted and supplication made
until all gather; then communion should be made. After praying, sacred readings
with melodious voices should be read by all together. As this is the
commencement of holding meetings, this is sufficient. (‘Abdu’l-Baha, ‘Tablets
of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1’)
