In honor of the Centenary of the Ascension of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Green Acre and the Bahá’í Publishing Trust present a special online “Conversations of the Heart” with author Angelina Allen.
This presentation takes one back a hundred years to the events that took place on the night of the passing of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, as told from the perspective of the six Western believers who were present in Haifa that night. The stories are taken from Angelina’s book When the Moon Set Over Haifa and will be sure to give the participant a feeling of being in the holy land on that momentous evening at the juncture of the Heroic and Formative Ages of the Faith.
