During the 19th century a massive movement took the religious world by storm. Inspired by prophecies in the Bible and the Quran, people from all countries, cultures and religious backgrounds were convinced that the ‘return', as mentioned in their Holy scriptures, was imminent. Did anything happen, and if it did, why has this extraordinary history been forgotten? Carolyn Sparey Fox is a professional viola player, having worked extensively in London and Scotland as a soloist on BBC radio and TV, toured and recorded with many British orchestras and chamber groups, and performed in the first London production of Jesus Christ Superstar. But for the purpose of this Fireside talk, Carolyn’s interest in the subject of 19th century Adventism came about shortly after becoming a Baha’i in 1992. Years of research initially resulted in a play, “Threads”, with several performances in the UK, followed several years later two books which were published by George Ronald, and which resulted in an invitation to appear in “The Gate”, a film on the history and background of the Bab and the importance of His role in the history of the Baha’i Faith.
