In 1961 Joel Marangella (1918–2013) received a letter from Remey, and a note that, "...in or after 1963. You will know when to break the seal."{{sfn|Johnson|2020|p=61}} In 1964 Remey appointed members to a second International Baháʼí Council with Marangella as president, significant due to Remey's claim to Guardianship being based on the same appointment. In 1965 Remey activated the council, and in 1966 wrote letters passing the "affairs of the Faith" to the council, then later dissolving it. In 1969 Marangella made an announcement that the letter of 1961 was Remey's appointment of him as the third Guardian, and that he had been the Guardian since 1964, invalidating Remey's pronouncements from that point forward.{{sfn|Johnson|2020|pp=60–65}}

Marangella gained the support of most of Remey's followers,{{sfn|Johnson|2020|p=60}}{{sfn|Warburg|2006|p=206}} who came to be known as Orthodox Baháʼís.{{sfn|Smith|2000|p=292}} One source estimated them at no more than 100 members in 1988, with the largest concentration being 11 in Roswell, New Mexico.{{sfn|Ryan|1988}} In a 2007 court case, the group claimed a United States membership of about 40 people.{{sfn|Surreply|2007}}
