- Ruth White (Bahá'í author)
Ruth White is an American
author with links to theBahá'í Faith . She challenged and then left the religion, based on her claim that the will of`Abdu'l-Bahá was a forgery. Her claim was based in part, she says, on that`Abdu'l-Bahá would never advocate for a hierarchy, much less the establishment of a "papacy".
