Pepe Letters

This section is for the collected letters of Joseph Pepe who was considered by Dr. Leland Jensen as the third Guardian of the Baha'i Faith. Although, it is debatable whether Pepe accepted this understanding of his role in the Baha'i Faith there was a heated exchange between Dr. Jensen and Pepe Remey in which Pepe seems to waver from one position of denial of being the Guardian to acceptance of being the Guardian. However, it could be argued that he was not wavering at all but had his own publicly undisclosed plans for his Guardianship which included at one point naming Brent Mathieu his successor which was rejected by Brent Mathieu. Pepe used Brent to distribute his letters to ex-Jensenites, perhaps in the role of sub-Guardian. This is perhaps the most controversial aspect of Dr. Leland Jensen's teachings: that Pepe was the Guardian but rejected Dr. Jensen's claims. In the end it seems that Pepe made an attempt to name a successor Guardian based on the understandings of Dr. Leland Jensen's criteria for naming a successor Guardian based on Aghsan status and appointment. This successor is currently contended between different factions of followers of Dr. Leland Jensen's students, the current question lies between the claims of Glenn David Goldman and Neal Chase.
