Photographs from my trek to the Baha'i temple in Wilmette, IL. Designed by Louis Bourgeois, the cornerstone of the building was laid in 1912, and the building was completed and dedicated in 1953.
From the Baha'i literature: "The Baha'i Faith is an independent world religion practiced throughout the world by more than five million people of nearly every nationality and ethnic background. they are attracted to the Faith by the belief that we all belong to one human race, that all religions share a common source and aim, and that the long-awaited era of peace promised by god in the world's sacred scriptures is now within reach."
