Because of the marked individualism of those days in the Bahá’í

Because of the marked individualism of those days in the Bahá’í community, there were many philosophical differences. The Bahá’ís of that time were immature in the ways of the Faith and ‘Abdu’l-Bahá used Corrine True to begin a transformation of the Bahá’í community. ‘Abdu’l-Bahá encouraged her to consult with the House of Spirituality, but disunity grew. Based on her talks with ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, she searched for a suitable Temple site north of Chicago while the House of Spirituality looked to the south. Finally, a site to the north, where the Temple now stands, was selected, though unity was far from complete.
