RW Felkin

[edit]

Its highly unlikely Robert Felkin was a convert to the Baha'i Faith. He indeed was a vector for the identification of Maurice Chambers as a baha'i in Havelock North new Zealand but Felkin was still presenting to Anglican missionary conferences and writing esoteric magic texts well into the 1920's. He was also an Inspector of the Rosicrucian Society for Australasia. What its got to do wih Egypt is beyond me. If Felkin has any Islamic esoteric connections they are from the Sudan or Morocco. His Baha'i connections are way more tenous than his Golden Dawn one's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.97.213.86 (talk) 10:23, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In this article it says "Robert Felkin was in Egypt circa 1880s and published a number of books -later he coverted to the religion." (the idea being that he was a notable individual who had been in Egypt and later was associated with the religion.) In his article it says "Felkin become involved in the Bahá'í Faith, through his meeting with `Abdu'l-Bahá in London in 1911 at Lady Blomfield's. Felkin introduced Maurice Chambers to the Faith and presented him with two Bahá'í ring stones that Abdu'l-Baha had given him. Felkin may have had an article on the Bahá'í Faith published in a local newspaper…." In the Bahá'í Faith in New Zealand it says:" Robert Felkin who had met `Abdu'l-Bahá in London in 1911 and moved to New Zealand in 1912 and is considered a Bahá'í by 1914 …", "Robert Felkinhad met `Abdu'l-Bahá in London in 1911 and in 1912 moved to New Zealand where he helped found the Whare Ra. Felkin wrote an article for a New Zealand publication which was published around then too.… Though Felkin is more known for being involved with other interests, another early Bahá'í, Maurice Chambers, counts Felkin as the Bahá'í through whom he learned of the religion and converted in 1914." All with citations. I don't doubt his relationship with the religious was tenous, but it was more substantial than say Tolstoy's. Smkolins (talk) 19:51, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
