General comment
Jack Lenz is a composer and he is also a Bahá'í. I don't know what a Bahá'í composer should be. There is a clear statement in the writings of Shoghi Effendi that art by a Bahá'í does not make it Bahá'í art. I guess the same is true about composers. No one knows what a Bahá'í composer should look like. He certainly wrote beautiful music for Bahá'í events and about (aspects of) the Bahá'í Faith and one might argue that this is Bahá'í music.

I was looking for information about Jack Lenz, but this page does not help me very much. I do not doubt anything about his faith or his dedication to it or his work for it, but his [home page] does not even mention the Faith. There is certainly nothing wrong in adding some information about his relationship to the Bahá'í Faith, but this article is sectarian. The Faith is not (and please don't attempt for it). Perhaps it should be under the heading Jack Lenz and the Bahá'í Faith.

I don't know much about Jack Lenz except his work for the Bahá'í Faith which is also stated in this page and I am not the one to edit this article, but please rewrite it. His home page might be a good starting point to collect some information. If you add some information to it about his relationship to the Bahá'í Faith, I think you have a good start. This is not an article for an encyclopedia. At his home page you can also find a picture. Contact him, he is still alive. He might just tell you to what he dedicates his life and his time, how important are material/spiritual matters for him. I am sure there are many things in his life that are worth mentioning.

This is about spreading ads aboout the Bahá'í Faith, not about writing a good article about Jack Lenz for an encyclopedia. Please retry.
