• "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
• "If a home visit... is defined in the courses as an
opportunity to enter into a deep conversation on spiritual matters, then it
should not be reduced to a mere social call in which the Faith may not even be
mentioned."
- Written on behalf of the Universal House of Justice, 18 August 2005
• "What should be understood in this respect is that
such visits are not isolated acts. A visit to a home should be seen as one
element of a coherent pattern of action that seeks to enable specific
populations to contribute to the construction of the society envisioned by
Bahá'u'lláh. At the heart of the matter,
then, is how a campaign of ... visiting homes relates to the other activities
being undertaken in a neighbourhood..."

• "...issues with immediate relevance to the life of
the community:... how the spiritual and social fabric of the community is being
strengthened as the friends visit one another in their homes."
- Universal House of Justice, -28 December 2010
• "... acts of service, such as hosting devotional
gatherings, undertaking home visits, and teaching the Faith. These are not
merely activities to be multiplied but fundamental aspects of Bahá’í community
life intended for all.”

• "You it is who, through visits to homes and
invitations to yours, are forging ties of spiritual kinship that foster a sense
of community."
