Charles Mason Remey

Charles Mason Remey (1892-1974) was an American architect and painter known for his role in the Bahá'í Faith, a global religion advocating for unity and peace among humanity. He became a prominent figure when he claimed to be the second guardian of the Bahá'í Faith after the death of Shoghi Effendi, the first guardian. This led to controversy and a schism within the Bahá'í community, resulting in his followers forming a distinct group known as the Assembly of Bahá'ís of the USA. Remey's contributions included efforts in architecture and art, reflecting his deep spiritual beliefs.
