Abstract
This note provides a summary of information presently available on the extent and distribution of the Baha’i communities around the world during the 1940s.I have previously provided brief notes on basic Baha’I tatistics during the 1920s and 1930s. This present note continues that study into the 1940s, summarizing the information presently available. As before, I have utilized the
data provided by the Baha’i World series – in this case, volume 8-11, which give lists of local spiritual assemblies and Baha’i groups and localities for 1939-40, 1943-4, 1945-6 and 1949-50. These enable us to gain some sense of the differential distribution of the Baha’i faith worldwide during the period.
