The Faroe Islands lie between Shetland (the northern-most island group of the United Kingdom) and Iceland. There is a local language (Faroese), although politically the Faroes are ruled by Denmark.
The islands were opened to the Faith by a Swedish Bahá’í, Eskjil Luneberg, in the early 1950s. He made little measurable progress for the Faith, but some years later he was joined by other pioneers, including Sue Philbrow and her family, who arrived in about 1974. By the early twenty-first century, Faroese natives were beginning to accept the Faith in small numbers.
Administratively, the Faroes were for a while put under the jurisdiction of the National Spiritual Assembly of the United Kingdom. At a later stage, jurisdiction was transferred to the N.S.A. of Iceland.
