"The Bahai theocracy..." or the contrary?

[Sen McGlinn]

I made a short video about a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi which has been misunderstood, because an editor quoted part of it out of context, in "Directives from the Guardian," and because readers and authors quoted the cut version. It's the letter that says, "... the Bahai theocracy, on the contrary..." That turns out to be talking about David Hofman's term "Bahai Theocracy," which is not the way Shoghi Effendi uses the term "theocracy." And neither matches the dictionary meaning.
The video is also about "source criticism," and reading texts in their historical contexts. That's a basic skill for good reading, and even more for research and writing. So I have pointed towards some of the online resources that I use to trace quotes back to their origins
