Re: Temple Designs by Mason Remey

[M Chase]

Has the House actually confirmed that the Remey design will be built?  
Given that the Master and Guardian approved Remey and his design before 
he broke the covenant, it would seem that the House would have grounds 
to alter the decision.  Does it seem credible or consistent that either 
the Master or the Guardian would not revoke a responsibility and bounty 
bestowed upon a believer if he broke the covenant, especially if that 
believer rebelled against the House, an institution further developed 
and defined by the Master and the Guardian themselves?  'Abdu'l-Baha 
permitted the covenant breaker to live at the mansion at Bahji, even 
paying their expenses.  In contrast, Shoghi Effendi could not wait to 
get them out and bulldoze their shanty appendages.  How do we view 
Shoghi Effendi's actions in light of 'Abdu'l-Baha's?

Mashriqu'l-Adhkar to be built in the future on Mount Carmel, and since
Shoghi Effendi approved the design, it will be built by the House of
Justice, to carry out the decisions of the Master and the Guardian.

I cannot even imagine that in future a Baha'i House of Worship be built on Mount Carmel with name of Mason Remey on it as architect.
