	Effendi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Effendi (actually spelled "Efendi" in Turkish) (a Turkish title meaning a lord or master) is a title of respect, equivalent to the English sir, in Turkey and some other Eastern countries.
		It follows the personal name, when it is used, and is generally given to members of the learned professions, and to government officials who have no higher rank, such as Bey or Pasha.
		Effendi (warrant officer) was the highest rank that a Black African could achieve in the British King's African Rifles.

	Shoghi Effendi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shoghi Effendi later expressed to his wife and others that he had no foreknowledge of the existence of the Institution of Guardianship, least of all that he was appointed as Guardian.
		Throughout Shoghi Effendi's life, nearly all remaining family members and descendents of `Abdu'l-Bahá rebelled against his authority at some point, and were expelled by him as Covenant-breakers.
		Shoghi Effendi's passing came unexpectedly in 1957 as he was traveling to Britain and caught the Asiatic flu.

	Jamal Effendi and the early spread of the Baha'i Faith in Asia
		As Jamál Effendi travelled through India and other regions, it was his custom whenever heading towards a new region to write to the ruler or governor and the leading colonial administrator of that region and announce his intention to travel there.
		Jamál Effendi spoke to this man and Rúmí reports that he was inwardly converted (and a tablet of Bahá'u'lláh was revealed for him), but he was compelled to remain outwardly a Muslim.
		Although Jamál Effendi and his companions faced some hostility and were forced to move from their first lodgings near the mosque on account of this, they eventually found many who were willing to ally themselves with the new religion.

	Shoghi Effendi: Guide for a New Millennium
		The community's burgeoning along the lines traced by Shoghi Effendi strongly suggests that the demonstrated efficacy of his guidance and its salience for social reconstruction of the planet are bound increasingly to impress themselves upon public consciousness and inevitably to influence the shaping of a millennium.
		That Shoghi Effendi was able to inspire such a movement of scores of volunteers who were unschooled in missionary work, and whose sole qualification was their profound devotion to the Cause of Bahá'u'lláh, is an impressive index of the dynamism of his Guardianship.
		Moreover, in Shoghi Effendi's meticulous attention to the design and beautification of the holy sites there was a means of educating the community; for through it he demonstrated modes by which physical arrangements can reflect reverence for the sacred.

	Generative Imagery in the Writings of Shoghi Effendi
		Shoghi Effendi's compositional method was to speak the words as he wrote and to use speech to hone the structure of his text.
		It is notable how Shoghi Effendi takes the normally overlooked or elided metaphorical context of his use of "conceived" in the first of these paragraphs and invokes it repeatedly and explicitly in the second.
		Shoghi Effendi's generative model is one of change and adaptation, of genotype and phenotype: potentialities and their expression in particular circumstances.

	The Life of Shoghi Effendi
		Shoghi Effendi decided that the maintenance of his correspondence with individual Bahá'ís around the world as well as with the assemblies was essential for the protection and growth of the Cause.
		It was Shoghi Effendi who, for instance, detailed the responsibilities, powers and processes for annual election of local and national Assemblies, called for the setting-up of local and national Bahá'í Funds, and established the institution of the Auxiliary Board.
		Through the American Bahá'í community, Shoghi Effendi established the "charter"[48] for all national Assemblies by means of the 1927 Bahá'í National Constitution, and the "pattern"[49] for all local Assemblies by means of the By-Laws of the Spiritual Assembly of New York, drafted in 1931.

	Baha'i Faith Entry By Toops
		Shoghi Effendi, not having a biological son to succeed him, set up a non-biological son successorship in a council in embryonic form that everyone was to turn to upon his passing.
		Shoghi Effendi knew that he could not set up a Universal House of Justice during his lifetime, as it was to be elected by the believers of all nations.
		Therefore when Shoghi Effendi set up the first International Baha'i Council, he placed 'Abdu'l-Baha's adopted son to be the president, for only a descendant of King David could fill that position; however he didn't inherit the infallibility as this was passed to Shoghi Effendi's non-biological son, the first International Baha'i Council.

	Haim Nahum Effendi (1872-1960)
		During this period Rabbi Nahum was witness both to a vibrant and successful community of 80,000 Jews living in Egypt and also to the community's disintegration after 1948 when government hostility, violence, economic restrictions, confiscation and deportation caused most Jews to leave.
		Rabbi Nahum (the title "Effendi" was a Turkish title of honor within the Ottoman Empire), who was born in 1872 near Izmir in Turkey, received an extraordinarily broad education before ascending to the Chief Rabbinate.
		By 1960 Rabbi Haim Nahum Effendi was a broken man. His own physical vicissitudes and distress at the irremediable decline of the Egyptian Jewish community had taken their toll.

	The Guardian of the Bahá'í Faith
		Shoghi Effendi and his great aunt were very close; she, of all the members of his family, understood his crushing grief at the loss of his beloved Grandfather, and she was a wise and loyal support to him during the early years of the Guardianship until her passing in 1932.

		Shoghi Effendi’s own words state emphatically that without a Guardian the Baha’i Faith would be mutilated and completely deprived of the "unerring guidance of God." Subsequent to his death, Baha’i experience only corroborates his judgment.
		Neither the custodians nor the Orthodox Baha’is had, or have, a credible claim to assumption of the mantle of authority.
		Any pretense to "infallibility" ended with Shoghi Effendi, and subsequent Baha’i experience has proven it in the ruined and destroyed lives of many thousands of individuals, married couples, families, and Baha’i communities.

		EFFENDI, the sequel to the delightful police procedural PASHAZADE is quite different in plot design as the who-done-it shares billing with terrorism and political and religious intrigue.
		The key to why this novel and its predecessor are worth reading lies in Jon Courtenay Grimwood's ability to paint a realistic futurist alternate universe in which the Ottoman Empire is the superpower as it has been for centuries.
		With cross genre appeal, EFFENDI is a strong work of speculative fiction.
