关于此电子书

The Bah House of Worship sits on the shores of Lake Michigan, just 5 miles north of Chicago. How it came to be built in the heart of the United States is a story that begins with the Worlds Columbian Exposition in 1893. Inspired by news of the first Bah Temple in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, members of the Chicago Bah House of Spirituality drafted a petition in 1903 asking for permission to begin their own. Fifty years later, in 1953, a completed Bah House of Worship was dedicated in Wilmette. The story of how very few believers in a new faith built the Great Bell of the North Shoreduring the Great Depression and World War II yearsis shown with archival photographs from every stage of construction up to the present. This includes ongoing restoration projects preserving the beauty of the Temple of Light.
