The welcome center has a lot of useful literature on the Baha'i faith, and it's wonderful to learn more about this incredibly inclusive and peaceful religion, and saddening to hear about the persecution of Baha'i people. I've visited the Lotus Baha'i temple in Delhi before, and the building in Chicago is significantly smaller and less of an architectural marvel. However, unlike the temple in Delhi, the house of worship in Chicago is not a tourist destination. This allows for more serene contemplation, away from the hustle and bustle of the main city. The Baha'i hous of worship is easily accessible by public transport and also has ample parking. The restrooms in the welcome center are spotless. Overall, I highly recommend a visit to the House of Worship. It's not a typical tourist destination, but is instead truly a place for contemplation and silence.

The house of worship includes a temple, gardens, and a Welcome Center.

Since I visited on a Sunday, I decided to attend the half hour service, so I could see the inside of the temple. The walls are the same color white as The outside and religious scripts are written across the walls in English and Arabic.

The church meets in the lower level of the Fountain Square building at the intersection of Sherman and Davis in downtown Evanston. It's a small space, but not crowded. On the walls hang art, all of which was painted by people in the church. The music is a blend of contemporary worship songs and older hymns. It sometimes has a bluegrass feel, and is played well. A lot of the musicians are Northwestern students and it's not uncommon to see a violin-cello, saxophone, or washboard in the band. Around 1/3 of the attendees are undergrad students, around 1/3 are young singles or couples, and the rest are older. Lunch is always provided by the church Sundays after service. It's a great time to get to know people there. The church currently has three small-group Bible studies, one of which meets on Wednesday nights and reads Bible stories to build up the larger story-arc of the Bible. The other two meet on Thursday nights. One is for men, studying Ephesians. The other is for women, and I don't know what they are studying. The church tries to be good citizens of Evanston, taking part in community functions, cleaning up litter in alleys (Alley-Sheep) and Christmas caroling around Evanston. The pastor holds a PhD in Philosophy from Vanderbilt. He currently spends half his weeks in Louisville, KY teaching ethics and apologetics at a seminary and half his weeks in Evanston. The church doctrine states that Jesus Christ and the straightforward teaching of the Bible is life transforming. Some might call that conservative, others might describe it differently.

I graduated from this school back in the early 90s and returned after traveling the world. Fr. also stated that it was my peeps, the Filipinos that kept this parish still alive while so many in the Archdiocese are being closed. Orthodoxy under the radar and a love of the faith can do that. There's still a vibrant youth church and multiple ministries that help the local community. The fact that these things occur and people don't know about them show a disconnection from faith and being involved with the church in general.
