“Bahá’í Aotearoa” is an online newsletter only.
Believers who had the bounty of meeting Hands of the Cause hold precious memories of those occasions – recollections that should be recorded to be passed on to later generations.
Dr Bronwyn Elsmore’s kind offer to compile anecdotes and other recollections, however brief, of friends who encountered any of the Hands of the Cause, has been warmly received. Putting together accounts of such meetings by believers will enhance the historical records of our Faith. If you had the good fortune of experiencing such an occasion, or multiple occasions, please consider adding your stories. If you would prefer to orally relate these encounters, Bronwyn will no doubt be happy to offer this alternative method, since not everyone is comfortable with writing. Memories may be of visits of Hands of the Cause to New Zealand or encounters with any of them elsewhere.
As a former lecturer in religious studies, a published author, and long-standing Bahá’í, Bronwyn is eminently qualified to undertake this project, and the National Assembly is most grateful to her.
