This Saturday evening there will be a book launch for: Tending the Garden: A Biography of Emeric and Rosemary Sala by Ilona Weinstein When: Saturday evening, October 8th, 7:30pm Where: Ottawa Baha’i Centre, 211 McArthur Avenue, These early Canadian Baha’is came from vastly different backgrounds, but after they found the Baha’i Faith, and married in the early 1930s in Montreal, they served the Faith on three continents over forty-five years. This included travel teaching trips to Ottawa where they gave public talks at the Chateau Laurier. Emeric Sala’s book about the Baha’i Faith, “The Earth is But One Country” was a well loved introduction to the Faith for many years.
