The beloved Guardian has been very impressed with the latest
book written by our dear departed coworker, George Townshend 'Christ and
Baha'u'llah. This book outlines clearly the relationship of Christ and
Baha'u'llah, and presents the manners in which the Baha'is are setting up the
Kingdom of God for which the Christians are praying. It is challenging, and
surely will affect many religious leaders. The Guardian feels your Assembly
should make this book the basis of a very active teaching campaign.

letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to the National Spiritual Assembly of
the United States, April 19, 1957: Baha’i News, No. 316, p. 5, June 1957; compilation:
