Hello and welcome to the Baha’i Blogcast with me your host, Rainn Wilson.In this series of podcasts I interview members of the Baha’i Faith and friends from all over the world about their hearts, and minds, and souls, their spiritual journeys, what they’re interested in, and what makes them tick.In this special episode in honor of the 100th Anniversary of the passing of Abdu'l-Baha, I'm joined by Baha'i author, Rob Weinberg from the UK. Rob talks about the remarkable life of Abdu'l-Baha and why he feels Abdu'l-Baha was an ambassador to humanity. We talk about Abdu'l-Baha's time in Egypt, Baghdad, France, and the example He gave us. Rob tells us about his own Baha'i journey, his time in the Holy Land,  and we discuss the need to focus locally, and look at how we can follow the example of Abdu'l-Baha.

Episode 69: Rob Weinberg (In Honor of Abdu'l-Baha)

Mark Tobey

Mark Tobey’s distinctive approach to abstract painting brought him great acclaim and considerable success in the middle decades of the twentieth century. A member of the Bahá’í Faith from the age of twenty-eight, Tobey was an inveterate experimenter and a foresighted world citizen. His major contribution to modern art was his so-called “white writing” style that emerged after decades of experimentation and deep reflection. In tracing the influences on Tobey’s development, Rob Weinberg will demonstrate that Tobey’s breakthrough was the result of a deep knowledge of the art of the past and diverse cultures, and his desire to convey Bahá’í spirituality through his work. His influence on his contemporaries—ranging from Jackson Pollock to the St Ives school in Cornwall—has not yet been fully acknowledged.Rob Weinberg is a writer and radio producer with more than 30 years experience with BBC radio and Classic FM. He served as the director of the Office of Public Information at the Bahá’í World Centre from 2009 to 2013 and is a member of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of the UK. He is also the author of 10 books, mainly on opera, film music and Bahá’í history.  Most recently he has been reviewing art exhibitions for the Daily Telegraph and Apollo magazine, and producing podcasts for the historian Dan Snow.  Rob did an MA in Art History for which his dissertation looked at the development of the art of Mark Tobey.
