Good point. :-)
Sen's line of argument is fascinating to me since its the first I've heard of
it. But thinking it over, at the least, its too early in the Baha'i Revelation
to be worrying about specifics like that. Let the generation where governance

Hi all,
Sorry to clutter the list with a request but I bet academics have access to
great powerpoint presentations.
I'm giving an introductory talk on the Faith to the local Historical Society
this weeknd - 15-20 minutes. I've googled for intros without much success.

Yes it is one of the passport photos. I believe it is the one in Miller's
book. The last time I was in Wikipedia, the picture was at the bottom and a
note at the top mentioned that Baha'is may want to avoid going there. I
thought that a good compromise. I don't think it serves our interests
I note that Brooke Astor, a NY socialite died at 105 yesterday. That would
have put her about 10 years old during Abdu'l-Baha's visit to America.
Anyone know if she met him during his travels? How many people are left who
met the Master? Just wondering.
The more interesting question, in my opinion, is whether Wilson and the
Guardian meant the same thing from the phrase. I think this is a great
topic to extend to the current usage of the phrase. I am aware of many,
mostly conservative Americans, who rail against the "New World Order".
Funny
Hi Dean,
Actually, there are many examples of this style of Writing. Of course, I
can't find any now. :-) Perhaps someone can post the cite, but I am sure
that we have Mirza Aqa Jan's own word on this.
But I do know that this Tablet in particular is written like this - on the
surface it i
Baha'u'llah made Mt. Carmel a priority with the Tablet of Carmel.
Abdul-Baha carried out Baha'u'llah's instructions and provided the vision
for what Mt. Carmel would become in a famous bit where he talked about a sea
of lights stretching completely around the bay linking Haifa and Akka.
Shogh
But with Susan'sclarification - that it was Sohrab taking notes as
Abdu'l-Baha spoke, it puts this squarely into the category of a pilgrim's
note. From the Research Depts note which didn't mention this context, I was
assuming the quote was something Sohrab came up with himself. The former I

Thank you Susan - that is great information and I like the suggestion of
