When in Bahá'í history
London (today: London, UK)
Before He left London in 1913 at the close of His second visit, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá gave a talk at Cadogan Gardens, clearly stating that teaching the Bahá’í Faith called for ‘undivided attention’. “Teach the Cause to those who do not know. It is now six months that Siyyid Asadu’lláh implored that I write a few lines to my sister, my daughters. I have not done this because I find I must teach. I enter all meetings, all churches, so that the Cause may be spread. When the ‘Most Important’ work is before our sight, we must let go the ‘Important’ one.”
