About: Baháʼí Faith in New Caledonia

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Baháʼí Faith in New Caledonia was first mentioned by ʻAbdu'l-Bahá in 1916, though the first Baháʼí arrived in 1952 during a temporary visit because of restrictive policies on English-speaking visitors. In 1961 Jeannette Outhey was the first New Caledonian to join the religion. On the same year, Emma and Georges Wayenece were the first melanesian couple to accept the Faith of Baha'u'llah. With other converts and pioneers, they elected the first Baháʼí Local Spiritual Assembly of Nouméa in 1962. The Baháʼí National Spiritual Assembly of New Caledonia was elected in 1977. Multiplying its involvements through to today, the 2001 population was reported at 1,070. The Association of Religion Data Archives (relying on World Christian Encyclopedia) estimated some 955 Baháʼís in 2005.
