Baha’i Temple, Wilmette, Illinois

This beautiful landmark can be seen if you drive north from Chicago along the lake shore through Evanston into Wilmette. The Baha’i Temple, officially called The Baha’i House of Worship, is one of 7 in the world. If you’re unfamiliar with this religion, it’s basic teachings include equality, world peace, and unity.

During my recent, abbreviated visit to Chicago, I met a friend to walk in the neighborhood near here. If you’re looking for ways to learn more about the world and our global community, I encourage you to explore this faith. I’ve visited the temple on field trips when I taught world religions.
