Initiatives not explicitly derived from community programs

Steve's comment to my previous post alerted me to a possible misunderstanding that I want to try to clear up.

In my experience, it's always been popular in some Baha'i circles to depreciate, or even stigmatize, initiatives that aren't framed as part of the programs being promoted by institutions. I used to do that myself. I don't feel that way any more. Now I'm trying to promote better appreciation, encouragement and support of every person's initiatives, regardless of how they might be related to the programs being promoted by institutions.
