Correction: The statement “Charles Mason Remey, then in his 90s, said Effendi had addressed him in letters as his son or spiritual descendant.” is not the teaching of the Orthodox Baha’is. Instead, they believe that Shoghi Effendi appointed Mason Remey as the second Guardian in conformity with the Will and Testament of Abdu’l-Baha, when he appointed Remey as the President of the embryonic Universal House of Justice he called the International Baha’i Council.
