In this presentation hosted by the Wilmette Institute, Mariette Leong offers a history of the lives of Clara and Hyde Dunn, including sharing some personal stories and lasting impressions Clara made on her life.
Clara and Hyde Dunn moved to Australia 100 years ago, in April 1920, in answer to Abdu’l-Baha’s Tablets of the Divine Plan. They arrived in Australia with the aim of sharing the teachings of the Baha’i Faith.
