 Look inside the book

The life of Louise Gregory has been overshadowed by that of her brilliant husband, Hand of the Cause Louis Gregory. This book redresses the balance, showing that during her long life Louise achieved much in her own right.

‘I saw a seed in your heart... I wish it to produce many seeds,’ said ‘Abdu’l-Bahá to Louise Mathew in 1911, on board the ship taking Him to America. He encouraged this quiet, self-effacing Englishwoman to embark on what must have seemed an almost impossible adventure: an interracial marriage that would, at that time and place, be considered eccentric at best and downright illegal at worst.

Louise Gregory achieved much in her own right: she attended university and qualified as a teacher, a remarkably modern achievement for a Victorian woman; in the early days of the 20th century she established herself as a single woman working and studying in Luxembourg and in Paris; as a new Bahá’í she travelled alone to Egypt and attained the presence of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, later witnessing His talks in London and Paris and even accompanying Him, as one of a select group of westerners, when He sailed from Naples to America.

After her marriage, she was the first Bahá’í to teach the Faith in Luxembourg. On her own initiative and with the blessing of Shoghi Effendi she was the first Bahá’í, after ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s visit, to teach the Faith in Hungary. When she settled for months on end in Bulgaria and Yugoslavia she acquired the distinction of being the first Bahá’í pioneer to those countries.

She excelled, in her quiet way, at seeking out waiting souls and encouraging them in their spiritual quest by holding informal group meetings and study classes. Although reserved by nature, she was not afraid to address audiences when called upon to do so and her mastery of French, German and Esperanto aided her in her endeavours. Her efforts to give the message of Bahá’u’lláh to the peoples of the Balkans earned her the praise of the Guardian.

But surely her greatest achievement was her marriage to Louis Gregory, which she embarked upon when no longer in her youth, in accordance with the wishes of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, taking up her residence in an unfamiliar country and in the face of extreme prejudice from current society regarding her marriage. At the same time as being independent, she achieved a happy and loving marriage to Louis. For nearly 40 years the couple were united by their love of their Bahá’í Faith and an enduring love for each other. Despite enforced separations when they were unable to travel together to states where the law prevented them from being together, they presented an example of a happy marriage and a role model for future unions of black and white. Truly they nourished the ‘seed’ that ‘Abdu’l-Bahá had planted in their hearts.

Not A Walking Shoe
Size: 9.5, Color: Black/British Tan
In the photo online this shoe looks like it will be very comfortable. Kind of a classy Coach's Shoe. Also in the photo the heel portion of the sole looks thick and supportive. I bought them thinking they would be my go-to travel shoe. Wrong. This is not a comfortable shoe for extended wear. Short durations, OK. The main problem is that the sole is very thin and flexible in all directions. There is no, as in zero arch support, plus that thin heel means that you tend to rock back on your heels and it feels like you're pounding the pavement. I've worn once and I'm very disappointed. They look great, definitely high quality materials, but using them for the intended purpose of travel.... fah get about it. If you're looking for a good looking shoe to wear around the gym and you don't intend to use the treadmill, or elliptical, then this is the shoe you want. They would definitely be returned if I hadn't already worn them outside.

Very nice, but sizing is inconsistent
Size: 10 Wide, Color: Ivory/White/British Tan
All of these Cole Haan shoes are extremely well made and I like the styling. On the other hand, the sizing is very inconsistent and you may end up having to do a lot of returns trying to find the right size. Then if you get a different color of it, you may find the sizing different yet again. If you find your right zie, they are really nice shoes at a very reasonable price for the quality.

I love this brand. These shoes look and fit great!
Size: 13 Wide, Color: Black/White/Black
I love wearing Cole Haan shoes. This is the second pair I’ve owned and the style just gets me. I’ve worn these to work at a great professional job every day, not just casual Friday. I wear these when I head out shopping or to dinner. They are functional, comfortable, built for regular and bigger wider feet and comfortable. I am 6 feet tall and my feet have changed size over the years to me needing a wider shoe to relieve pressure on my toes and front wide porting of my foot. So the 13W feels great and still walks the same as a regular 14 but more comfort for me. They look amazing and qualify in some offices as dress shoes (depending on company rules they will justify a sneaker as a shoe with the tan colored “gum” sole as a sneaker) so check company policy. The black sole on this makes it look more dressy. I am switching out the laces to match my previous Cole Haan because I think the white shoelaces look better. As an adult, aside from my Kenneth Cole boots Reaction boots and Doc Marten’s these are the only shoes I will pay 3 digits for. This looks like skater shoes but with a more mature look.

I am certainly glad I found them and finally ordered
Size: 10, Color: Ivory/White/British Tan
A bit bulkier than my Stan Smiths Leather versions, but actually more comfortable. They seem to be a bit "clunkier" looking than a streamline Stan Smith, but it's a matter of style. It works for a change of pace. Gets or picks up dirt a bit, but cleans well, except the canvas part. Has lasted almost 6-8 months with very little signs of wear. Feels very secure in any type of weather or condition. Great alternative or addition to having a pair of Stan Smiths.
