81. The Conversion Of Religious Minorities To The Bahá'í Faith In Iran Some observations by Susan Stiles Maneck. http://www.safnet.com/bahai/docs/conversion1.html

Introduction Topics Library Graphics Index ... Site Map The Conversion of Religious Minorities to the Bahá'í Faith in Iran Some Preliminary Observations Susan Stiles Maneck Abstract In the period between 1877-1921 significant numbers of non-Muslims converted to the Bahá'í Faith in Iran. This was an essential development for the emergence of the Bahá'í Faith as an independent religion possessing a distinct identity apart from Islam. These conversions were largely confined to the Zoroastrian and Jewish communities and did not involve Iran's largest religious minority, the Christians. This study attempts to address some of the factors that were involved in this conversion process. These will include the manner in which Bahá'ís made the transition from Islamic particularism to a universalism that would attract non-Muslims, as well as the manner in which actual conversions took place and the factors surrounding them. Major emphasis will be placed upon examining what factors may have inclined certain minorities rather than others to convert. T he Jewish conversion movement began in Hamadan around 1877, and by 1884, according to the historian of Persian Jewry Habib Levy, involved some one hundred and fifty of the eight-hundred Jewish households there (

89. Baha'i View Of Alcoholics Anonymous Letters from the Universal House of Justice say that the practice of confession in the 5th Step of Alcoholics Anonymous is acceptable to followers of the Baha'i faith. http://bahai-library.org/uhj/alcoholics.anonymous.html

[Note: this letter was transmitted via email, without a complete header. It appears (from personal greetings which have been deleted) that it might have been compiled by the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of Alaska on behalf of the Universal House of Justice. A copy of the complete text would be appreciated. -J.W.] 9 November 1987 Dear Baha'i Friend, In response to your letter of 28 July 1987, we have been asked by the Universal House of Justice to quote below for your benefit from letters written on its behalf concerning Alcoholics Anonymous. The malign effects of the widespread use of alcoholic beverages upon almost every society in the world cannot but confirm every Baha'i in the wisdom of Baha'u'llah in banning its use, thereby shielding faithful believers from a legion of difficulties . . . The Baha'i community should feel free to call upon such agencies as Alcoholics Anonymous for assistance and upon public agencies who work with the problem, but must realize that the greatest healing of this social and individual disease is God's Cause which in its fulness will eliminate the causes of alcoholism . . . (From letter to a National Assembly dated 8 August 1979) The Universal House of Justice . . . has instructed us to say that there is no objection to Baha'is being members of Alcoholics Anonymous, which is an association that does a great deal of good in assisting alcoholics to overcome their lamentable condition. The sharing of experiences which the members undertake does not conflict with the Baha'i prohibition on the confession of sins; it is more in the nature of the therapeutic relationship between a patient and a psychiatrist.
