3. I did not present to the Guardian the question of new Bahá’ís in Greece being allowed to remain in their church after they become Bahá’ís, because I knew there was no such situation existing. The Guardian does not wish to be asked to make rulings on situations which might develop. He has already enunciated very clearly the principle that when people become Bahá’ís, they should, if not immediately, then within a short time, leave the church. If there is any exception to be made to these rules, it would be on specific instances, and on specific application of a national assembly. When the pioneers in Greece have any individuals ready to become Bahá’ís, and then if the church question is a deterring factor, perhaps at that time your Assembly will wish to take the matter up with the Guardian. I am sure he would not want to issue a ruling on a possible future case. If this handling is not satisfactory to your Assembly, and you wish me to present the matter to the Guardian, in that event let me know and I will do so. 4. I hope some arrangement is worked out to handle the publication of Russian literature. It will be of advantage at this time for local teaching and therefore what can—should certainly be prepared. I did inform Mrs. Sommerau that I would see that her pamphlet was financed, and I have had some correspondence with her and Marion Little concerning the matter. As developments occur, I will be glad to let you know.... The Guardian sends his loving Greetings to the members of the N.S.A. LETTER OF 27 APRIL 1956 27 April 1956 Dear Bahá’í Friends: The Beloved Guardian has been giving very serious consideration to the model for the Temple to be built in Frankfurt. He feels that the design No. 102-A, prepared by Architect Teuto Rocholl, is susceptible of development into the type of building which we wish. The Guardian asks that you consult with the architect, asking him to submit a few modifications of the plan, simply in a rough pencil sketch, incorporating the following adjustments: 1. A third story should be provided without of course increasing the size of the building. 2. The building must be 9-sided instead of round. 3. A lantern should be placed on the top of the dome. 4. The dome should be more gracefully shaped, with a little more peak to the top. 5. It might be that some windows could be placed at the base of the dome, so as to give the impression of a clerestory. The architect himself may have some other modifications that may occur to him as he sets up plans. If you could have this matter handled as quickly as possible, the Guardian would be very appreciative. Time is running along very rapidly, and if an early start is not made on the building, it may be difficult to finish it during the Ten Year Plan. The Guardian sends you his loving greetings....
