	The Baha'i Religion :: a brief historical introduction
		After the death of ‘Abd al-Baha’, his grandson Shoghi Effendi Rabbani54 (1897-1957) became the official head of the Baha’i faith, although for a brief period the Baha’is were led by the sister of ‘Abd al-Baha’, Bahiyyah Khanum (1846-1932).
		Predictably, the leadership of Shoghi Effendi was challenged and like his grandfather he eventually expelled nearly every member of his extended family (including those who refused to shun family members already labelled Covenant-Breakers).
		Shoghi Effendi’s was a brilliant administrator and he spent his life systematising the new religion; translating important Babi and Baha’i works into English and overseeing the construction of major architectural projects for the Baha’i world centre in Haifa.

	Shoghi Effendi: Guide for a New Millennium
		Shoghi Effendi, Guardian of the Bahá'í Faith, who was born one hundred years ago in Ottoman Palestine, occupies a unique position in the annals of religion.
		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.

		Shoghi Effendi was naturally a very spiritual and serious child and many times ‘Abdu’l-Bahá would admonish Shoghi Effendi for spending so much time praying and meditating and tell him go outside play like the other children.
		Shoghi Effendi did not know what his Grandfather had written in his Will and assumed that ‘Abdu’l-Baha would designate him, as he was the eldest grandson, to help carry out the instructions ‘Abdu’l-Bahá would have left regarding the creation of the Universal House of Justice, the governing body of the Bahá’í Faith.
		Eventually Shoghi Effendi was able to once again regain the custody of the Shrine of Bahá’u’lláh and began to fulfill Bahá’u’lláh’s directives about the constructing of the Seat of God’s Throne on Mount Carmel in Haifa and to build up the Administrative order, which would be the foundation for the Universal House of Justice.

		As a resident of Haifa since her marriage in 1937, Madame Rabbani was intimately involved with the development of the new Faith's world center from its early formative years when the Bahá'í community existed in some 40 countries to the present day when it has spread to 190 countries and 45 dependent territories.

	THE BAHÁ
		Shoghi Effendi did not delegate a successor -- one with an infallible understanding of Baha'u'llah's writings.
		Shoghi Effendi interpreted a section of Baha'u'llah's writings as prohibiting all same-sex activity, including that between consenting gays or lesbians in committed relationships.
		Shoghi Effendi apparently preferred that the initial choice of jurors be limited to men, because residual sexism within the religion -- particularly in the Middle and Far East -- threatened to create a schism if women were considered as full equals of men.

		Shoghi faithfully followed the directions of his mentor Machiavelli at that time: it paid to be completely quiet and wait until the storm, complete with lightning, thunder and torrents of rain intermixed with big hailstones, was over.

		With the publication of Shoghi's greatest work, God Passes By in 1945 and Its German translation in 1954 arose the opportunity to compare passages stylistically from the book with expressions and excerpts from the alleged testament of Abdul Baha (published in toto in 1964 In Frankfurt by the Bahai Publishing Committee).
