The great love she bore for its Guardian, Shoghi Effendi, her loyalty to him and passionate desire to render him any assistance within her power and to lighten, however slightly, the heavy burden that rested on his shoulders, not only endeared her to him but to all her fellow-believers. But it is against the setting of her high rank and her distinction as a Bahá’í that this moving tribute to her, as Mr Faizí came to know her in Haifa, must be read.Īmelia Collins, the subject of this moving personal tribute, accepted the Faith of Bahá’u’lláh in 1919 and for over four decades gave to it her energetic and single-hearted devotion. Paul Slaughter is an acclaimed photographer whose work has been exhibited all over the world, his clients include Time magazine and National Geographic.Abu’l-Qásim Faizí, has made no attempt to give a biographical history of Amelia Collins. Professor John Danesh and Dr Seena Fazel have edited The Baha’i Studies Review for over a decade, and have written numerous articles on issues related to the Baha’i Faith. Breathtaking photography and intelligent accompanying text are combined to produce a beautiful coffee-table book, and accessible introduction to one of the fastest-growing religions of today. Paul Slaughter spent three years travelling around the world to capture the photographs, from remote tribes in Papua New Guinea to villages in the mountains of Peru, taking in every continent. This volume combines comprehensive coverage of the Faith’s teachings, texts, practices, community life, and organization, with images reflecting its rich architectural heritage and the international diversity of its members. In an age where so many are preoccupied with global issues of freedom, human rights, peace, and religious intolerance, the Baha’I Faith and its teachings are more relevant than ever before.
