MRS DOROTHY FERRABY (née Cansdale) page 184 |
|
Became a Bahá’í and was active in the London Youth group in
the early 1930’s. She was elected to the National Spiritual
Assembly in 1941 and served continuously as either Secretary,
Treasurer or Recording Secretary for the next twenty years. She
retired when her husband, Hand of the Cause John Ferraby, left
to serve at the World Centre. That the small and scattered
477
British Bahá’í community was held together in the 1940’s is
generally recognised to have been due to the dedicated work of
Dorothy as Secretary of the National Assembly working
indefatigably in war-torn London. She became an Auxiliary
Board Member in 1954 and was appointed to the European
Board of Counsellors in 1968.
