expects people to know their birthdays in the Gregorian calendar. After I had signed in, I scanned down the recent joiners for a Muhammad or Ali or Husayn - or a Miriam or Fatimah. Narry a one did I find, which is odd since it is late-afternoon and evening in the Middle East at the moment.I think that just the year, without the month and day, would suffice, and that would allow room for the year to be stated in the Islamic Lunar calendar (why not build in a calendar converter so that someone…See More

- About Me:
- B. 1956 in New Zealand. I became a Bahai in Christchurch, New Zealand in 1974 and was part of the small Bahai community of Kaikoura, a coastal town on New Zealand’s South Island. Later I spent some time as a Bahai ‘pioneer’ on the Chatham Islands, and was part of the Bahai communities in various other towns in New Zealand, and later in the Netherlands.
I did two years of a Bachelor of Theology at Otago University, alongside my first degree (in English literature), and later did a 4-year degree in Islamic Studies in Leiden, the Netherlands. I am currently working on a 2-year Master't in Persian studies.
I have served on Local Spiritual Assemblies, as an ‘assistant,’ and on local and regional Bahai committees. I am currently a moderator for the H-Bahai discussion list, and can usually be found for a chin-wag on the Talisman9 discussion list (talisman9-subscribe@yahoogroups.com).
In late 2005 I was removed from the rolls of the Bahai community, following a decision of the Universal House of Justice. The reasons for the decision and the purpose it intends to achieve are not clear to me, and I don't intend to speculate about them. I continue as a believing and practicing unenrolled Bahai.
I am interested especially in Bahai theology and, within that, in political theology. I wrote my MA dissertation on Church and State in Islam and the Bahai Faith, and am now working on a study of Bahai ecclesiology which is intended to become a PhD thesis.
