What is Alabaster?
With the Chilean Temple Initiative underway, Bahá'ís everywhere are eagerly anticipating the completion of the last of the continental Mashriqu'l-Adhkárs in Santiago, Chile. The Temple of Light, as it is being called, is set to be made out of Spanish alabaster and cast glass.
Susan Engle, a Bahá'í from Lindenhurst, IL shares with us about her recent travels to Chile.
December in Chile. The heat meets us in waves as we leave the airport. I strike up a conversation with the young man who is showing us where to meet our bus into Santiago. "Tell me what you know in Spanish," he encourages me. "Bahá'u'lláh es la Gloria de Dios"
