The British Bahá’í community has been in existence since 1899 and its National Spiritual Assembly was first elected in 1923. Although a number of monographs, articles and biographies have appeared over the years, no overall survey of the community’s history had yet been published - until very recently. The Bahá’í Community of the British Isles 1844–1963, published in 2023 by George Ronald, is an attempt to fill some of the gap.
The project was conceived by the late Adam Thorne, who spent more than two decades collecting material on the history of the Bahá’í community of the British Isles. His work was completed by Dr Moojan Momen, with the assistance of George Ronald authors Earl Redman and Janet Fleming Rose.
In this episode of Great Reads: The George Ronald Podcast, Dr Moojan Momen shares more about this magnificent piece of scholarly research and a labour of love.
