A life in stories
'Abdu'l-Bahá's ministry (1892–1921)
The Storm at the Unity Feast
At the Unity Feast in West Englewood in June 1912, a sudden storm broke just as the meal was announced. Juliet Thompson watched ‘Abdu’l-Bahá sit at a distant crossroad, His face upturned to the sky, until the clouds raced away.
A Question in the Englewood Garden
After the Unity Feast at West Englewood in 1912, a seeker asked 'Abdu'l-Bahá what this Cause taught that earlier religions did not. He answered in the moonlit garden, naming its teachings one by one.
Acknowledged by the People of ‘Akká
The pilgrim Roy Wilhelm observed that people of all classes and religions in ‘Akká came to ‘Abdu’l-Bahá for explanation of their scriptures and settlement of their disputes, and that a just Governor sent his son to Him for instruction.
Louis Gregory and the Tie Vote
On April 30, 1912, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá told an NAACP conference in Chicago that color is of no importance. That evening, across the road, a tied Bahá’í election ended with Louis Gregory joining the governing board of Bahá’í Temple Unity.
