Shoghi Effendi through the Pilgrim's Eye: Volume 2: The Ten

Shoghi Effendi through the Pilgrim's Eye: Volume 2: The Ten Year Crusade, 1953-1963

The two volumes of Shoghi Effendi Through the Pilgrimâ€™s Eye tell the story of the worldwide spread of the BahÃ¡â€™Ã Faith from 1922 to 1963. They draw on the diary entries and letters (many now published for the first time) of the many pilgrims and visitors to the BahÃ¡â€™Ã Holy Places in Haifa and Akka, as well as the accounts of those who worked to assist the Guardian in his many extraordinary achievements.

As in all such cases, these recollections must be taken in the spirit of pilgrim notes â€“ interesting and thought-provoking highlights and observations, but not any part of the BahÃ¡â€™Ã Sacred Text. They do, however, provide unique insights and inspiration.

While volume I (1922âˆ’1952) covered the years when Shoghi Effendi was laying the foundations of the BahÃ¡â€™Ã Administrative Order destined to culminate in the World Order of BahÃ¡â€™uâ€™llÃ¡h, the present volume begins with the opening of the dramatic decade 1953âˆ’1963 with the launching of the ten-year worldwide spiritual plan to carry the Faith of BahÃ¡â€™uâ€™llÃ¡h to every place on the planet. That first global teaching plan involved every National Assembly and every BahÃ¡â€™Ã in a â€˜fate-laden, soul-stirring, decade-long, world-embracing Spiritual Crusadeâ€™. It was a monumentally incomprehensible leap for the world BahÃ¡â€™Ã Community. When Shoghi Effendi announced the plan, there were just twelve National Spiritual Assemblies in the world, formed over a period of 30 years. The Plan ended with 56. In 1952 the BahÃ¡â€™Ã Faith had members in 129 countries and dependencies; Shoghi Effendi wanted to open an additional 131 â€“ all in just ten years.
