Actually I am among the Baha'is under the Provisions of the Covenant which is one of the defendants (currently victors) in the litigation filed in the US court.
The courts ruled in favor of the various groups being attacked by the organization based in Haifa which initiated the action. We're all awaiting the court's decision regarding an appeal by that Haifan organization to see if it goes to the Supreme Court ultimately. If it does go that far and is argued before the highest court in the U.S. it promises to have potentially grave consequences for everyone, not only those who claim adherence to the Baha'i Faith.
This litigious group (Covenant Breakers) who initiated this offensive through the secular courts has very oppressive policies toward women, the Other Baha’i sects, and others including specific individuals who've been so bold as to question the wisdom of some of their policies and if given the type of power they're seeking through this secular court action they'll be enabled to expand their oppressions to totalitarian proportions within all sects of the Baha'i Faith.
We, the Baha'is under the Provisions of the Covenant know that they (Covenant Breakers) have no intention of stopping there. The other point that is important to keep in mind is that if the U.S. Supreme Court allows itself to rule on what is from front to back and through and through a fundamentally religious question dealing with the interpretation of a religious text it will have crossed that line between church and state and caused a breach of inestimable consequences for all U.S. citizens of all as well as no religious faiths.
The Baha'is under the Provisions of the Covenant believe that there are two types of Guardians of the Baha’i Faith .The Afnan and the Aghsan
