Disciples of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá

Disciples of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá

The Disciples of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, also 'Heralds of the Covenant', were a group of nineteen western Bahá’ís designated as such by Shoghi Effendi.

They were:

• John Esslemont
• Thornton Chase
• Howard MacNutt
• Sarah Farmer
• Hippolyte Dreyfus-Barney
• Lillian Kappes
• Robert Turner
• Arthur Brauns
• William H. Randall
• Lua Getsinger
• Joseph Hannen
• Chester I. Thacher
• Charles Greenleaf
• Isabella D. Brittingham
• Ethel Rosenberg
• Helen Goodall
• Arthur P. Dodge
• William H. Hoar
• George Jacob Augur

Arthur Brauns was replaced by Albert Schwarz in a second list of Disciples reproduced in Baha'i World Volume 4, however the photograph accompanying both lists was of Brauns. The inclusion of Schwarz was an error.
