The National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’ís of the Greater Antilles was a Bahá’í regional administrative body in Central America.
History[edit]
It was decided in January 1957 that a National Spiritual Assembly of the Antilles was to be formed to administer the Faith in Cuba, Haiti, Dominican Republic, and Jamaica, relieving the National Spiritual Assembly of Central America from responsibility for those countries.[1]
The Assembly was formed as the National Spiritual Assembly of the Greater Antilles at the first National Convention of the Greater Antilles in Kingston, Jamaica, in April 1957. Corinne True represented the Guardian at the Convention.[2]
The Assembly was disbanded in 1961 when individual National Assemblies were formed for the constituent Countries.
