On Baha'i Websites: Globetrotting for National Communities
As a perusal of The Baha'is website quickly indicates, the Baha'i community is global. It is possible to hop with ease from website to website around the Baha'i world by clicking on any one of the numerous national Baha'i communities websites available starting here.
Take Poland, for example. Poland is one of 37 national Baha'i communities in Europe to have its own website. Here is something I learned going to the Polish Baha'i community website. -gw
The first known mentions of the Baha’i Faith in Poland were in the magazines “Bluszcz” (1871) and “Gazeta Polska” (1875) and were written by Aleksander Walerian Jabłonowski (1823-1913). From 19th-century sources it appears that at least two Jews of the Polish regiment, stationed in Ashkhabad, were registered by the authorities as Bahá’ís. Another Polish Bahá’í, working in Russia, was Izabela Grinevskaia (1864-1944), who wrote a play about the Báb.
