Baha’i Books & Authors: Ep 2 Servant to the Servants – Roy C. Wilhelm

This is the second episode of a new podcast series called “Baha’i Books & Authors” and produced by the US Baha’i Publishing Trust.

In this second episode, we hear from co-authors Joel Nizin, Kathryn Jewett Hogenson and Gary Hogenson about the biography they wrote titled Servant to the Servants: Roy C. Wilhelm, Hand of the Cause of God. The US Baha’i Publishing Trust writes, “Roy Wilhelm is described by his biographers as quiet and gentle, but iron-willed. Relative to some of his contemporaries in the early Baha’i community of North America, his is a life perhaps less explored and examined so far by historians. This may be in part because many of the services he rendered were of a behind-the-scenes or administrative nature. What becomes abundantly clear when reading about the life of this brilliant and steadfast individual, however, is that he earned the unwavering trust of both Abdu’l-Baha and Shoghi Effendi for his tireless and selfless devotion to the Cause.”
