What People Said About
The ‘Garden of Humanity' Exhibit

From Bill Weites, Auxiliary Board Member

"Thank you so much for sending me the article "At One With Art" and other materials. This is another one of the many signs that indicate the process of entry by troops is advancing! It is particularly heartening to see how you have been able to use art in promoting the Faith. This is a wonderful feat in itself but it is doubly blessed in that you also address the issue of the oneness of mankind through your art. I thank you for this great service you are accomplishing and pray for you. Please keep me informed of your continued activities."

From Marcia Gitchel, Auxiliary Board Member 

"It is really inspiring to hear of Bahá' s whose art is being recognized in these types of venues- the impact on the individuals who view your work will surely become noticeable over time....in the ways that the great "mysterious forces at work in the world" move the hearts and inspire the souls."

From the Regional Bahá' Council of the Central States

"The Council wises to congratulate you on the showing of your exhibit of paintings, drawings, and Prints in Galesburg Illinois.
