the Bahá'í Faith |
 Joe Foster
was extensively involved in the early development of multi faith
religious education in England. He was one of the founder members of
the Shap Working Party on World Religions in Education which has
“probably done most to ensure an on-going dialogue between RE and the
study of religion”. He was a college lecturer in Technology and
served on the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of the United
Kingdom and as an Auxiliary Board member. Joe was also a founder member
of the Baha'i community in his home town of Kendal. |
