The Reverend Howard Ives, a Unitarian minister, pastor of a church in Summit New Jersey, and disalusioned seeker for higher truth and the true religion, met Abdu'l-Bahá in New York City in 1912. After declaring his belief in Bahá'u'lláh he spent the rest of his life teaching the Faith of God to who ever he could.

This site is dedicated to his memory and presents some memorabilia of and about Mr. Ives.
