The National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of Alaska is the administrative body of the Bahá’í community of the U.S. state of Alaska.
History[edit]
The National Spiritual Assembly of the United States and Canada decided that Alaska, Hawaii and all United States territories should eventually have independent administrative bodies in 1927.[1] The establishment of an independent National Spiritual Assembly in Alaska was a goal of the Western Hemisphere Teaching Committee as of 1953.[2]
The goal was achieved when the National Spiritual Assembly of Alaska was established at the first Alaskan Convention in April 1957.[3] Paul Haney was in attendance and opened the Convention, reading a message from Shoghi Effendi.[4]
