greatest name
When reciting the Greatest Name to ourselves during the day, in times of trouble etc, should we say Ya Bahá'u'l Abhá or Alla'u'Abha, or are the two entirely interchangeable ? I have searched the Writings to try to find a definitive answer. The Guardian confirms that Alla'u'abha is a greeting but als...

Re: Paid functions in the Faith
Thanks Brett - also do you know if it is true that the faith does not accept government grants / money that are given to other religious organisations ? (certainly lots of grant money is dished to organisations

Paid functions in the Faith
Do any Baha'is (e.g. universal house of justice members, NSA members) receive payment for their service ? if so do we know how much or what is the basis for payment ? I am currently teaching someone who is innately suspicious of members of religious organisations who make money so it would be useful...

un-translated writings

Darwin loss of faith
I read that Charles DARWIN lost his Christian faith partly as a result of learning about the ichoumonidae wasp, whose eggs are laid in a live host caterpillar, and then hatch and eat the host alive. Apparently he could not accept a God that could invent something so cruel. Are such issues addressed ...
