In a past posting, Brent said: Further, since the Master had designated Remey as the architect for the 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

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

Given what Susan was told and Mark's reasoning, I hope the House might at some point consider changing its decision about building the Remey design, but if not, I guess future generations will have to live with it, as strange as this seems. Susan Maneck wrote: [Marleen] Has the House

I just posted the following on the interfaith Study Circle list: I think that the unqualified statement, All religions are one, is ludicrous on the face of it. However, if the statement can be broken down, it might be more manageable: 1. What is included by all? 2. What is our present

Mark, In Native Studies, there is far less difficulty in understanding the notion of all religions being one. There's a story by Native writer Anna Lee Walters (Otoe-Missouria/Pawnee) in which various preachers try to explain to an older Native woman that their respective churches are the only
