Dr. Hatcher opens with a personal comment that he became a Baha’I in 1957, some months before the passing of Shoghi Effendi. Dr. Hatcher says his teacher was Winston Evans. Winston Evans so inculcated into William Hatcher his love for the Guardian that Hatcher was “totally devastated” by the passing of the Guardian. He was consoled by “The Dispensation” which Hand Khadem reported that Shoghi Effendi had said was “his will and testament”. William Hatcher reads ‘Amatu’l-Bahá’s comments about “The Dispensation”. He says he will, in this talk, treat the subject from a theological point of view. He then describes man’s three encounters with God. Shoghi Effendi summarized all the basic notions of the Divine. Reflection and service are always combined in this Revelation. He also covers the four themes stressed by Bahá’u’lláh. “The Administrative Order is fundamentally spiritual and universal.”
