April 19. On this date in 1957, a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to the National Spiritual Assembly of the United States stated he was "very impressed with the latest book written by our dear departed coworker, George Townshend, 'Christ and Bahá'u'lláh'. "This book outlines clearly the relationship of Christ and Bahá'u'lláh, and presents the manners in which the Bahá'ís are setting up the Kingdom of God for which the Christians are praying" and the book should be "the basis of a very active teaching campaign."

"The beloved Guardian has been very impressed with the latest book written by our dear departed coworker, George Townshend, 'Christ and Bahá'u'lláh'. 
"This book outlines clearly the relationship of Christ and Bahá'u'lláh, and presents the manners in which the Bahá'ís are setting up the Kingdom of God for which the Christians are praying. 
"It is challenging, and surely will affect many religious leaders. 
"The Guardian feels your Assembly should make this book the basis of a very active teaching campaign."
