Charles Mason Remey (1874-1974) was an American architect and author and adherent of the Baha'i faith. He designed and built Baha'i houses of worship in Uganda and Ethiopia (three others were designed but never constructed), and traveled extensively to promote the religion. In 1960 his claim to be the successor to Shoghi Effendi as Guardian, or worldwide head, of the Baha'i caused a major schism which persists to this day.
Charles Mason Remey was an architect, author, and a religious leader of the Baha'i faith.
He was born in Burlington, Iowa, May 15, 1874 and studied architecture at Cornell University and the Ecole des Arts in Paris. Remey embraced the Baha'i faith in 1899 and was appointed to design Baha'i temples in Israel, Iran, and Africa. Remey traveled widely to lecture in the interests of the Baha'i faith, and he wrote and published several volumes on the history and beliefs of the Baha'is. He was married briefly to Gertrude Heim Klemm (1887-1933). In his later years, Remey resided in Italy, but he continued to travel and lecture in Europe and Latin America. Charles Mason Remey died in 1974.
