  1. 1923-02-03
      Shoghi Effendi wrote to the editors and manager of the Star of the West Albert Vail Miss Edna True Dr. Zia M. Baghdádí Mírzá Aḥmad Sohrab. He reported that he had requested every Spiritual Assembly throughout Persia, Turkestan, Caucasus, India, Egypt, 'Iráq, Turkey, Syria and Palestine to contribute periodically carefully written articles to the magazine, and submit regularly for publication a special report on their spiritual activities and the progress of the Cause in their own province. [Uncompiled Published Letters p30 by Shoghi Effendi]
    • He sent a similar note of encouragement to the editor of the Indian Bahá'í News and to the editors of The Dawn in Burma. [PP347-348; Uncompiled Published Letters p36 by Shoghi Effendi]
  2. 2017-05-08Dr Sasha Dehghani, a visting scholar to the the Center for the Study of World Religions at the Harvard Divinity School delivered a lecture titled The Religion of Unity and the Unity of Religion: Remembering the Bahá’í Faith and Bahá’u’lláh. The lecture was delivered in commemoration of the 200th anniversary of the Harvard Divinity School which coincided with the bicentennial of the birth of Bahá'u'lláh. [BWNS 1172]

    The relationship between the Harvard Divinity School and the Bahá'í Faith has deep roots. Albert Vail, an early Bahá’í and former Unitarian minister, published an article on the Baha'i Faith in the Harvard Theological Review. Stanwood Cobb, another former Unitarian minister, was an early American Bahá’í and a graduate of the Harvard Divinity School as well. More recently Christopher D. Hampson, graduated in 2016 with both an MTS (Master of Theological Studies Program) from the Divinity School and a JD (Juris Doctor) from Harvard Law School.

    The broader connection between the Harvard Divinity School and the Bahá’í Faith is also evident through the sympathy of prominent figures like William James, a Harvard alumnus, who showed sympathy for the Bahá’í Faith and its concept of religious unity.

    The Harvard Bahá’í Association, a group of Bahá’ístudents, has been in existence since at least the 1950s.
