| The first Bahá'í teacher in America. Born in 1849, he was a Syrian Orthodox Christian who was converted to the Bahá'í Faith in Cairo. In 1892—3 he went to the United States to promote one of his business ventures, but when it failed he remained to open a faith healing practice in Chicago and teach the Bahá'í Faith. He converted a large number of people in Chicago, Illinois, and Kenosha, Wisconsin, through his ‘Truth Seeker' classes. However, his presentation of ‘Bahá'í teachings included a number of erroneous doctrines and beliefs of his own. When ‘Abdu'l-Bahá refused to sanction them, or to give him authority over the Bahá'í community in the West, Kheiralla broke with ‘Abdu'l-Bahá, becoming a Covenant-breaker. He died in 1929. |
