I am an essayist specializing in the Bahá'í Principles. I wrote "Beyond Borders," a book about the peace plan of John Amos Comenius. Comenius, known mainly as the "father of modern education," put forward in the 1660's the first proposal in history for a truly democratic world government. I live in the small Ontario town of Dunnville, with my wife, son and daughter. My blog, the Badi Blog, contains personal reflections on over 50 years as a member of the Baha'i community, studying the Baha'i Writings and experimentation on applying their lessons.
