Bahá'í Faith in Ethiopia
The Bahá'í Faith in Ethiopia began after `Abdu'l-Bahá wrote letters encouraging taking the religion to Africa in 1916. Probably the first Bahá'í to settle in the country came in early 1934 and with further pioneers by mid-1934, the first Bahá'í Local Spiritual Assembly of the country was elected in November in Addis Ababa. In 1962, Ethiopia Bahá'ís had elected a National Spiritual Assembly. By 1963 there were seven localities with smaller groups of Bahá'ís in the country. The Association of Religion Data Archives estimated some 27000 Bahá'ís in 2005. The community celebrated its diamond jubilee in January 2009.
