Thank you for that, I had not heard of the Urantia Book revelation. It has some great wisdom printed.
I was interested to see that it came out of Chicago, Chicago is a special place for Baha'is and Abdul'baha visited there in 1912 and gave many talks on Peace.
Interesting fact is it was Chicago that America first heard of the Baha'i Faith.
It was where the World’s Columbian Exposition, opened its doors on May 1, 1893.
Alongside that Exposition there were almost 300 conferences on topics such as commerce, medicine, philosophy, and history.
One of them was the World’s Parliament of Religions and was held offsite at the Art Institute of Chicago. Though many had felt it would be a risky proposition, that people could be lured into thinking that Hinduism or Islam might have a modicum of truth. Neatherless the Parliament forged ahead under a motto taken from the Old Testament: “Have we not all one father? Hath not one God created us?”
Then on September 23, Reverend Henry Jessup, a Presbyterian missionary living in Syria, delivered a paper at the Parliament about his experiences in the Middle East. In it, he quoted ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s father — the prophet Bahá’u’lláh. Reverend Jessup said that the words “gave utterance to sentiments so noble, so Christ like” that he would repeat them to conclude his address:
“That all nations should become one in faith and all men as brothers; that the bond of affection and unity between the sons of men should be strengthened; that diversity of religions should cease and differences of race be annulled. What harm is there in this? Yet so it shall be. These fruitless strifes, these ruinous wars shall pass away, and the Most Great Peace shall come . . . . Let not a man glory in this, that he loves his country; let him rather glory in this, that he loves his kind.”
Reverend Henry Jessup had introduced Americans to Bahá’u’lláh, and it happened in Chicago.
