In uno dei miei commenti precedenti aveva già fatto capolino la fede Baha'i, ci sono altre cose interessanti:

Abdu'l-Bahá Visit to Edinburgh 1913

27 May 1910
Edinburgh Evening News details a lecture by Mr Temple in London to the Royal Society of Arts
?? ??? 1912
The Booklet 'The Baha'i Movement, the Reform of Islam from Within', giving an outline of Baha'i history and principles in 13 pages, is published in Edinburgh, perhaps authored by Whyte or the Theosophical Society
...
06 Jan 1913
Abdu'l-Baha arrives by train in Edinburgh with three colleagues at 5pm from London, having
set out in the morning, and stays at 7 Charlotte Square for the duration of his visit
...
07 Jan 1913 Early
Eastern Students of the University meet at the manse with Abdu'l-Baha, who gives an address
on the Oneness of Religion
07 Jan 1913 evening
Abdu'l-Baha is guest speaker at a packed public meeting hosted by the Edinburgh Esperanto Society in the new Freemason's Hall, 96 George Street, with 300 people people crowding outside unable to gain admission. The subject of Abdu'l-Baha's address is the need for an International Language.


Tutto questo bisogno non ci sarà, se è dal 1913 che ci provano. Ma procediamo:

09 Jan 1913
Abdu'l-Baha attends the Theosophical Society, 28 Great King Street, giving private interviews and an address on the blind following of religious tradition, individual investigation of truth; the interdependence of the physical world; and the immortality of the soul; there follows a meeting with the audience, after which he remains there for supper.
10 Jan 1913
Abdu'l-Baha pens his letter to Andrew Carnegie, the famous Scots Philanthropist; this letter is
now kept in the Carnegie Trust in Dumfermline, which is Carnegie's birthplace.


Carnegie lo ritroviamo qui: The Makers of Modern Schooling, e sarebbe un bell'argomento anche per l'articolo sulla scuola in home page...

Ma ho trovato anche un altro articolo interessante:

The Mind of George Soros
Meet the Esperanto enthusiast who wants to save the world from President Bush.


A financier who began with a stake of a few thousand dollars, he traded and speculated his way to a fortune of many billions, making him one of the world's richest men. Then he turned to philanthropy, an enterprise he undertook with so much largesse and so much panache that he quickly won a place for himself alongside the likes of Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller in the pantheon of legendary donors.

Dio ci scampi e liberi da simili donors!
