Dearly loved Friends,
The National Spiritual Assembly was grieved to learn of the passing of Earl Cameron, at the age of 102.
In a letter to the Cameron family dated 7 July 2020, the Universal House of Justice described Earl as a “dearly loved … devoted and stalwart follower of Bahá’u’lláh. His many years of distinguished service, including as an international pioneer and a member of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Solomon Islands, as well as his valuable contributions to promoting the Faith and its principles, are recalled with profound admiration. His outstanding professional achievements, his championing the cause of the oneness of humanity, and his loving and radiant heart have made an enduring impact on many of those who knew him.”
The Supreme Body has assured Earl’s family of its “supplications in the Holy Shrines for the progress of his noble soul throughout the worlds of God.”
The National Assembly also recalls with admiration Earl’s sterling spiritual qualities and his devotion to the Cause which he embraced in London in 1963. His eager willingness to use his skills and renown as an actor to support artistic endeavours in the community, and widely proclaim and share the Bahá’í Teachings among his many admirers, is remembered with deep appreciation.
The National Assembly has conveyed its deep condolences to Earl’s wife Barbara, his children, their families and friends. It will also offer prayers for the onward journey of Earl’s soul and for the solace of his loved ones.
With loving Bahá’í greetings,
Patrick O’Mara,
Secretary
