Collis Featherstone

Born in 1913 in Quorn, a small country town in South Australia, and moving around from town to town for his father’s work as a railway station master, Collis Featherstone never would have imagined that one day he would visit over 100 countries in five continents to meet with Bahá’í communities.

In this account of his life, the reader will learn of Collis’s acceptance of the teachings of Bahá’u’lláh in 1945 and the Bahá’í Faith’s message he shared of the Oneness of Humanity. His joyful radiant personality, enthusiasm and dedication in selfless service inspired and changed the lives of many people.

Collis worked tirelessly to support the plans of the international governing council of the Bahá’í Faith, the Universal House of Justice, guiding the developing Bahá’í administrative institutions in the countries that he visited.
