Baháʼí Faith in Mozambique
[1] The publication was delayed until 1919 in Star of the West magazine on December 12, 1919. after the end of World War I and the Spanish flu.[8] Probably the first Baháʼís to enter the region were Eric and Terry Manton who landed in 1951–2 at Beira, a port of Mozambique, who came from Britain to be the first pioneers to what was then Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe.[11] Another known early pioneer was Charlotte Pinto who attended a national convention of the Baháʼís of the United States on return from Mozambique in April 1957.[12] The Area Teaching Committee of Southern Rhodesia and Northern Mozambique held a conference on the progress of the religion chaired by Hastings Hojane in November 1958[13] and meetings continued through 1960.However she was only able to spend one night there where she met with a few of the Portuguese Baháʼís for an informal social evening in the lobby of the hotel she was staying at as there were restrictions on holding meetings.In 1985 the Baháʼís of Mozambique elected their first National Spiritual Assembly, witnessed by Continental Counselor Shidan Fat'he-Aazam.[31] The religion entered a new phase of activity when a message of the Universal House of Justice dated 20 October 1983 was released.[36] Regional conferences were called for by the Universal House of Justice 20 October 2008 to celebrate recent achievements in grassroots community-building and to plan their next steps in organizing in their home areas.
