CHARLES WILLIAM DUNNING, Knight of Bahá’u’lláh page 211 |
|
Born in or near Leeds, March 1885. Met and embraced the Faith
in 1948 and within a fortnight offered to pioneer to Belfast.
After serious illness and a period of recuperation in Cardiff, he
served in Sheffield until 1953. “Charlie” answered the Guardian’s
call to settle in unopened territories in the Ten Year Crusade and
he arrived in Kirkwall, Orkney in September 1953, opening the
way, “essentially … alone” for the founding of Kirkwall Spiritual
482
Assembly. After four years, broken by ill health and persecution,
he was, for his own safety, sent back to Cardiff. After a bad fall
in 1967 from which he never fully recovered, he passed away
quietly in his sleep on Christmas Day, 1967 in Cardiff. (“Bahá’í
World”, Vol. XIV, pp. 305–8.)
