Dear Bahá'í Friends:
| |
2 |
The Beloved Guardian has directed that I write you in
connection with the Temple project for Germany.
| |

He is anxious to receive the latest word with regard to the
purchase of the site for the Temple, hoping all the problems
have now cleared up, or will soon be cleared up and
ownership be vested with your body.
| |

He also feels that you should proceed with the
preparation of designs for the Temple, which he
understands you will arrange by means of a competition of
architects. He feels you should proceed with this phase of
the Temple regardless of the question of land ownership.
Time is moving along rapidly, and he hopes it will not be
too long before the design is chosen.

5 |
In passing, there is one point to be mentioned; and that is
that the Temple in Wilmette does not constitute a pattern
for other Temples, nor does it represent a new type of
Bahá'í architecture. Therefore it is not necessary for your
architects to endeavour to follow that pattern. What should
be done is to follow the Master's instructions as to the
Temple, and then create something that will be desirable
and appropriate for your area....
