	'''Ronald Erwin McNair''' (October 21, 1950 – January 28, 1986) was an American NASA astronaut and physicist. Some Bahá’í sources stated that McNair was a member of the Faith, however his older brother Carl McNair ~~stated~~: ''With all due respect, Ronald McNair was not of the Baha'i faith. As children, we attended some Baha'i events but never converted. This is, perhaps, the origin of the mistake.''<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=948527884 en.wikipedia.org]</ref>		''Ronald Erwin McNair'' (October 21, 1950 – January 28, 1986) was an American NASA astronaut and physicist. He died during the launch of the Space Shuttle Challenger.

			==Association with the Bahá’í Faith ==
			Some Bahá’í sources stated that McNair was a member of the Faith, however his older brother Carl McNair disputed this: ''With all due respect, Ronald McNair was not of the Baha'i faith. As children, we attended some Baha'i events but never converted. This is, perhaps, the origin of the mistake.''<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=948527884 en.wikipedia.org]</ref>

			On his public memorial in Salt Lake City is the following quote by McNair:

			: ''I do not profess to be a preacher nor one possessing profound knowledge or insight, but I do claim to be a Christian; and I do know that the God we serve has a strange way of using anybody or anything to convey his message.''<ref>https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=238136</ref>

	* A 1926 trip to California by Cannady to speak at the National Bahá'í Convention is mentioned but not dwelled on.{{rp\|pp12,118}} The biographer quotes her: "Cannady said she had never 'witnessed such complete harmony and love existing between individuals' and hoped to 'have the pleasure of attending such a convention again.' Seven months later, she was 'utterly surprised' to learn that she had been asked 'to teach in the cause'(sic). She called it 'a rare opportunity to serve humanity' but recognized that she needed 'to seek sufficient understanding and knowledge of the Word of God' so she could 'impart helpful information to those with whom' she came 'in contact.'"{{rp\|p118}}		* A 1926 trip to California by Cannady to speak at the National Bahá'í Convention is mentioned but not dwelled on.{{rp\|pp12,118}} The biographer quotes her: "Cannady said she had never 'witnessed such complete harmony and love existing between individuals' and hoped to 'have the pleasure of attending such a convention again.'
