Grouping of Clusters – in our area: Pinellas+ Pasco-Hernando+Tampa
From: The Southeast Regional Baha’i Council Newsletter ‘Update’,
November 2016
What is a grouping of adjoining clusters?
"In some regions that stretch across a large territory,
Councils have made arrangements for nurturing the development of groups of
adjoining clusters. Meanwhile, in smaller countries that do not require the
establishment of Regional Councils, National Assemblies are increasingly giving
thought to ways of helping clusters advance, in some instances by forming a
working group charged with this task; you are encouraged to stimulate learning
in this area, with the aim that, in due course, formal structures can be
defined that would assume this responsibility in much the same way that
Councils do in other countries." - The Universal House of Justice (Dec 29,
2015)
What are the groupings in the Southeast?
The Southeast region has identified nine groupings, one in
Mississippi, one in Alabama, three in Florida, two in Georgia and two in South
Carolina. On the average there are nine clusters in each grouping, the majority
being milestone ones as of the beginning of the Five Year Plan. The grouping
maps for the Southeast region is shown in the Council website
www.rbcsoutheast.org. The color coding corresponds to programs of growth
(milestone ones, yellow) and intensive programs of growth (milestone two's,
blue) respectively. One cluster within each grouping is designated as reservoir
cluster with the expectation that it would supply the flow of resources with
knowledge and experience to the remaining clusters within the grouping.

Home Visits – some excerpts from the recent messages of the Universal House of Justice
• "Conceived as a means for exposing believers to the
fundamentals of the Faith, "home visits" are giving rise to an array
of deepening efforts, both individual and collective, in which the friends are
delving into the Writings and exploring their implications for their
lives."
- Universal House of Justice, 27 December 2005
• "...home visits to the friends who would benefit from
deepening and discussions that connect them with the community…"
- Universal House of Justice, 29 December 2015
• "As they call on one another in their homes and pay
visits to families, friends and acquaintances, they enter into purposeful
discussion on themes of spiritual import, deepen their knowledge of the Faith,
share Bahá’u’lláh’s message, and welcome increasing numbers to join them in a
mighty spiritual enterprise."
- Universal House of Justice, Ridván, 2008
