Linda Kendle was a Bahá’í who served as an Auxiliary Board member for Africa.
Background[edit]
Kendle was serving as the Matron of William Pitcher Teacher Training College in Swaziland in the early 1960's. One of the students at the College, Seraphina Twala, was a Bahá’í and Kendle contacted her requesting to know information about the religion. Twala was intimidated as she was a strict Matron but she lent her a Bahá’í book.[1] Kendle declared and was later appointed an Auxiliary Board member for Propagation assigned to Swaziland.[2]
In 1979 Kendle was a member of a delegation of women which met with the Queen Mother of Swaziland and the Queen Mother expressed a desire to know more about the Bahá’í Faith.[3]
