The drawings for the Temple in Kampala have reached the
beloved Guardian, and he has instructed me to answer you on his
behalf regarding their suitability.
| |
| 2 |
Frankly, he was very discouraged by these drawings, as he
feels that such an ultra-modern style is wholly unsuitable for a
Bahá'í Temple.... It seems to him that the modern influence is
now so strong and widespread that it is out of the question to get
a discreet and dignified building designed for our purposes.
| |
| 3 |
...He is sorry to disappoint your Assembly, and regrets the
time, trouble and expense which has been involved in finding a
design.
| |
| 4 |
As he cabled your Assembly he also feels that to seek a new
Temple site is unwise; from descriptions received at the time of
its purchase it seems satisfactory, and there is enough land around
it for possible expansion in the future....
| |
| 5 |
He feels therefore that until your hear from him you (had)
better take no further steps as regards a design for Kampala.
