FOREWORD

From its fourth volume (1930–1932), The Bahá’í World, the preparation of which was guided until his passing by Shoghi Effendi, has contained an “In Memoriam” section, providing readers with articles concerning the lives of believers who have rendered outstanding international service to the Faith and who had passed from this earthly plane during the time covered by the relevant volume. When it was decided to publish The Bahá’í World in an annual edition following 1992, it became necessary to restrict such information to short obituary notices.

This, then, is the first “In Memoriam” supplement to The Bahá’í World, offering inspirational background about some of the believers who have served in some significant manner during their brief lives. May their stories provide the reader with a glimpse of how they translated into deeds and acts their love for Bahá’u’lláh and His message for mankind.
