I became a Baha’i in 1961, a 1st year student at Cambridge, thereby becoming the first Cambridge undergraduate to become a Baha’i thanks to one, Ian Semple, who was the first in Oxford. Since those happy days, marriage, children, pioneering for the Faith in Swansea, then to Tobermory on the Isle of Mull to open the Inner Hebrides to the Faith, then on to France to open up the Basque region and finally back to Scotland, where Carolyn, my wife and I are now retired in Stirling. Most of this time I have been a language teacher, first French and some German and then English as a foreign language, which I still do on a voluntary basis.

Particularly over the last 10 years or so, Carolyn and I have travelled extensively both in Europe and further afield to support Baha’i activities, all of which we have greatly enjoyed.

I have written just one book, Letter to the Christians, which was originally written in French and which I started largely for myself to help me become clearer about the link between my Christian faith and Baha’u’llah, but also because at that time Baha’u’llah’s ’Tablet to the Christians' had yet to be translated into French. This led to the work on what has come to be known as the Omega Course, which is to help Baha’is and particularly interested Christians to better understand the relationship between the revelation of Christ and that of Baha’u’llah.

My talk will involve a glimpse of what is to be found in both Baha’u’llah’s 'Letter to the Christians’ and material from the above-mentioned Omega Course concerning many subjects of concern to Christians and Baha'is, inevitably much abbreviated. I hope people will find it helpful. I am not a theologian so I am greatly indebted to the research and thoughts of those who have preceded me in delving into many matters of interest in this domain Bon courage!.
