| Abstract | Tom Kabu of Papua began a movement in the 1940s to raise the living standards of the Purari society from which he had come. His efforts failed, not only because of hostility from or ineptitude of the Australian colonial administration, but also because of the opposition to his aspirations exhibited by personnel of the London Missionary Society. Tom Kabu became the first Papuan Bahá'í in 1965. |
