The National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of Central and East Africa was a regional body responsible for administrating Bahá’í communities across Central and East Africa.
Formed[edit]
In 1954 Shoghi Effendi announced that three National Spiritual Assemblies were to be formed in 1956 to administrate the Faith across Africa. The National Spiritual Assembly of Central and East Africa was assigned the responsibility of administrating the Faith in Uganda, Tanganyika, Kenya, Belgian Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, French Equatorial Africa, Zanzibar, the Comoro Islands, and the Seychelles.[1]
The Assembly was established in 1956 and acquired a Ḥaẓíratu’l-Quds in Victoria, British Cameroons, in 1957.[2][3] It was dissolved in 1964 and succeeded by several independent Assemblies which administrated smaller areas.
