Dear Stephen, The Guardian would be the equivalent of Shi'a Imams. Given 'Abdu'l-Baha insistence that every Baha'i must be submissive to the Universal House of Justice, I don't see how we could have lesser prophets like those of the Old Testament. As for Apostles, I think the Hands of the Cause would be the equivalent of those. warmest, Susan __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:[email protected] Unsubscribe: send a blank email to mailto:[email protected] Subscribe: send subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [email protected] Or subscribe: http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/all_forums/subscribe?name=bahai-st Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:[email protected] Web - http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/?forum=bahai-st News (on-campus only) - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]
