A. H. Biggs
A. H. Biggs was an early British associate of the Bahá’í community who served on the National Spiritual Assembly of the British Isles.
Biography[edit]
Briggs was a member of the Christian Clergy serving as a Reverend in Manchester. In 1925 the Manchester Bahá’í community noted that he was a friend of the Faith although it does not appear that he formally became a Bahá’í.[1]
In 1927 Biggs was elected to the National Spiritual Assembly of the British Isles and Shoghi Effendi noted that formally becoming a Bahá’í and fully accepting the claims of Bahá’u’lláh was an increasingly important factor of membership in the Bahá’í community writing the following:
"I trust that the choice of Rev. Biggs signifies his unreserved acceptance of the Faith in its entirety—a condition that we must increasingly stress in the years that come."[2]
