Title initially given by Shoghi Effendi to those Bahá'ís who arose to open new territories to the Faith during the first year of the Ten Year Crusade and subsequently applied to those who first reached those still-unopened territories at a later date: ‘I hail with feelings of joy and wonder the superb feats of the heroic company of the Knights of the Lord of Hosts in pursuance of their sublime mission for the spiritual conquest of the planet.'21 ‘The Concourse on High will continue to applaud the highly meritorious services rendered by future volunteers arising to reinforce the historic work so nobly initiated by the Knights of Bahá'u'lláh in the far-flung, newly opened territories.'22 Shoghi Effendi kept a Roll of Honour of all the Knights of Bahá'u'lláh. A few more Knights of Bahá'u'lláh remain to be named, as there are a few territories not yet open to the Faith.† |
