Former Iowa Bahá’ís on National Spiritual Assemblies

Home / Uncategorized / Former Iowa Bahá’ís on National Spiritual Assemblies
Uncategorized
ByDiane Findlay Posted onDecember 13, 2023December 13, 2023 Uncategorized

It’s recently come to my attention that at least four Iowa Bahá’ís went on to pioneer internationally and serve on National Spiritual Assemblies at their pioneering posts. There may well be more! I’m aware of David Meswarb serving on the NSA of the Leeward Islands and then the East Leeward Islands; Rod Clarken, who I believe served (and may currently serve) on the NSA of the Virgin Islands; Bob McIlvride, who served on the NSA of Thailand; and Daniel H. Himes; who served on the NSA of Papua New Guinea in the 1970s. Do you know of others? Can you provide years for them? Thanks so much!

In every Dispensation, the light of Divine Guidance has been focused upon one central theme.… In this wondrous Revelation… the foundation of the Faith of God, and the distinguishing feature of His Law, is the consciousness of the oneness of mankind. — ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, cited in The Promised Day is Come
