The House of Justice . . . has instructed us to point out
that proclamation, expansion, and consolidation are really three different
aspects of teaching which to some degree merge into one another and therefore
it is largely for each National Spiritual Assembly to decide how it will
allocate these different aspects to committees in light of the volume of the
work and the condition in each country.
