Anguilla is a British Overseas Territory in the Leeward Islands group in the Caribbean.
History[edit]
Anguilla was under the jurisdiction of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Leeward, Windward & Virgin Islands from 1967. The Assembly advised Bahá’ís not to make travel teaching trips or pioneer to Anguilla due to unrest in November 1967, but by January 1968 they advised that it was safe to visit the territory.[2]
Francis Foss, a St. Martin Bahá’í, made a travel teaching trip to Anguilla in early 1968 and Jeffery Lewis, a Grenadian Bahá’í, pioneered to the territory in 1969 and lived there until 1970.[3]
From 1972 the Bahá’í community of Anguilla was administrated by the National Spiritual Assembly of the Leeward & Virgin Islands, from 1981 by the National Spiritual Assembly of the Leeward Islands, and from 1991 by the National Spiritual Assembly of the West Leeward Islands.[4]
