Letter From Shoghi Effendi to Charles Mason Remey March 3, 1932

 

"Dear co-worker:

"Your letter is always a source of great joy, and I welcome with genuine satisfaction, all the news it imparts. How I wish you could arrange for an early resumption of your teachings activities and travels, if not in foreign lands, among the different centres throughout the states! The time is highly opportune and the receptiveness of the masses has considerably increased, as a result of the wide, publicity which the teachings have received in these days. I will pray that the Beloved who loved you so dearly ['Abdu'l-Bahá], may guide and inspire you to resume more actively than ever before, your invaluable services to His Faith.

Your true brother, Shoghi" 

From the Charles Mason Remey papers place in the Library of Congress, vol. 18.

The Covenant Trilogy by Charles Gaines, 1960

  The GUARDIANSHIP AND ADMINISTRATION FIRST INTRODUCTION             In the face of such trials and tests as these times are likely to lay upon the entire Baha'i World, it is imperative that we take a second look at Baha'i and see what it is that this beloved Faith of ours teaches, stands for and requires, if it is to be triumphant over the sinister forces of nature and of an unregenerate humanity.  It is clearly evident how “humanity is languishing upon a bed of sickness, sore-tried and disillusioned.” and it behooves all men to examine anew the remedy that has been prescribed by the Divine Physician, which alone can “deliver mankind from this desolating affliction” and “fuse its discordant, elements” into one organic, indivisible whole; to ponder dispassionately and penetrate, to depths unparalleled, the “wholesome medicine”, the “Elixir” that can “cleanse and revive” a humanity sick unto death; to st...

E.S. Yazdani, Fifth Bahá'í Guardian: A Response to “The Bahá’í Faith 1957–1988: A Survey of Contemporary Developments.” by Smith-Momen

  O THOU GLORY OF THE MOST GLORIOUS Office of Fifth Guardian of the Bahá’í Faith   When the fundamental basis of the Bahá’í Faith is interfered with , the very foundation of the Bahá’í Administration changes. Furthermore, the Cause of Bahá’u’lláh deviates from its divinely established course; the authentic Covenant of Bahá’u’lláh, as defined in The Kitáb-i-Ahd , The Kitáb-i-Aqdas , and The Will and Testament of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá , is replaced by a man-made covenant, altering the standards of the Bahá’í Faith; progress and development in the present administration in Haifa as well as in the worldwide community of believers lose their meaning and is no longer relevant. This is true regardless of any period surveyed or comparison made to another time.   This is the case in an article written by Peter Smith and Moojan Momen. The article appeared on Bahá’ì Library Online 1 , as well as on Academia 1 , under the title, “The Bahá’í Faith 1957–1988...
