Dear people, a couple of weeks ago I was trying to identify individuals noted in Shoghi Effendi's letter America and the Most Great Peace.
I've identified another brain teaser. "Was He not, through the several functions which He exercised whilst He dwelt amongst them, whether in the laying of the corner-stone of their House of Worship , or in the Feast which He offered them and at which He chose to serve them in person , or in the emphasis which He on a more solemn occasion placed on the implications of His spiritual station--was He not, thereby, deliberately bequeathing to them all the essentials of that spiritual heritage which He knew they would ably safeguard and by their deeds continually enrich?" Now I'm okay with the House of Worship and Netties stone and the EngleWood Feast but What is the solemn occasion in respect of his station? Marzieh Gail goes into great detail about Howard MacNutt and his need for Pauline repentance with respect to MacNutt teaching that Abdu'l-Baha was like the thrice-denying Peter (Arches of the Years 111-126. Juliet Thompson recounts this in her diary as well. Is this the situation being referred to here.?? It certainly was during the Master's Visit to North America (Nov 18, 1912) and Zarqani gives a minimal account as well. BUt it also dragged on over a long period of time. Here MacNutt is understating Abdu'l-Baha's station. But there were other's who overstated it, equating him with the Manifestation. Did these events happen on a solemn occasion? Any clues or leads greatly appreciated Cheers, Steve Cooney. ---------- You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Baha'i Studies is available through the following: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.jccc.net/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=bahai-st news://list.jccc.net/bahai-st http://www.escribe.com/religion/bahaist (public) http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (public)
