DESCRIPTION:_To commemorate the centenary of the passing of 'Abdu'l-Bahá\
 , the Cambridge University Bahá'í Society has arranged online talks by e
 ight international speakers. Each speaker will focus on one theme based on
  the teachings and life of this unique individual and its relevance to our
  world today. This is the final talk in the series._\n\n*'Abdu'l-Bahá and
  the Modernists*\n\nDuring the early years of the twentieth century\, ‘m
 odernist’ writers and artists rejected time-honoured conventions in thei
 r quest to convey the sensibilities of a new age. This presentation brings
  to light the little-known personal meetings that a number of these influe
 ntial figures had with ‘Abdu’l-Bahá\, the head of the Bahá’í Fait
 h from 1892-1921\, and their responses to His personality and message.\n\n
