NOT a "Holy Family."

NOT a "Holy Family." (31).


Ruth White. Abdul Baha's Questioned Will and Testament.
Beverly Hills: White, 1946.

"It is important for those who are interested in the Bahai Religion to
free themselves from the idea that the family of Abdu'l-Baha is a "Holy
Family." In fact his family, and "in-laws," with the exception of his
wife and sister, were somewhat materialistic, and viewed the religion
more or less as a little family affair with a strong bent toward
organization. For years they have indoctrinated, more or less, the
pilgrims who visited the home of Abdul-Baha, myself included, with this
conception of religion. This partly nullified the great universal
teachings. The result was that when Abdul-Baha passed from this world in
November, 1921, some of his family, who had laid the ground-work for
organization through these pilgrims while he was alive, hastened to
establish it more firmly when he died. All this resulted in making the
Bahai Movement, under the dictatorship of Shoghi Effendi, an
organization which for narrowness and bigotry has no parallel in history
except in the dark ages" (31).
