Wikipedia's article on the Baha'i Faith in the United States, community-edited. Reliable for the standard account of Ibrahim George Kheiralla's 1894 move to Chicago, where interest generated by the 1893 World's Parliament of Religions gave his teaching classes their first significant American audience; not the right source for a claim about the faith's theology beyond this documented arrival.
