Audio Drama: Some Sort of Foreigner – A Story About Work as Worship

“Some Sort of Foreigner” shares the fictional account of Bill, a tradesman who meets Abdu’l-Baha in London and who learns how work, performed in the spirit of service, is a form of worship. The imaginary tale is told from the perspective of Gladdie, Bill’s wife. It is a monologue written by Roger White and was published in The Witness of Pebbles (shared with the permission of George Ronald). It was performed by Emma Pring.
