Project Conversion

Today we will hear from 21-year-old Sina Sabet Sarvestani, first cousin to Raha Sabet. Sina’s story is one of bravery in the midst of great difficulty, and the ability to peel darkness away from light. Please read and pass along the following account:  Personal Statement: My name is Sina Sabet Sarvestani and I spend most of my week working…

As we continue our week exploring the issue of Baha’i persecution in Iran, we are given the account of Mr. Kamal Khanjani, brother of Jamaloddin Khanjani, imprisoned Bahá’í leader. His statement follows: Personal Statement: I arrived in the United States in 1978 after studying electrical engineering Isfahan, Iran. In the United States, I started my own…

I’ve waited all month for this. The Baha’is have been exceedingly kind to me as I’ve explored their faith. They’ve welcomed me into their world with open arms…as if I were already one of them. Now, I get the chance to compensate them for their hospitality.  Week Three of Project Conversion in any given month…

    Every once in a while, someone comes along with an idea or a passion that establishes your faith in the human spirit. Jon Rezin, founder of Next Movement Records, is such a man…and he’s bent on making the world a better place through music. A Baha’i and just cool in general, he agreed to…

Yesterday my Baha’i Mentor and I were invited to spend the day with some of her Baha’i friends of the Cary Community for the 19 Day Feast. The event is observed every 19 Days on the first day of each Baha’i month (which run in 19-day cycles) as prescribed by Baha’u’lla in the Kitab-i-Aqdas. Each new day begins at sunset,…

Allah-u-Abha and good morning! While catching up over the phone last night, my old friend asked me concerning Project Conversion, “Dude, how’s it going–I mean–how are you holding up?” I thought for a moment, trying to clear my head of the prayer I had just memorized and say, “Jumping between the faiths is like making…

You’ve all been very patient, and as a reward…an IOU for something awesome should we ever meet. Anyway, today I want to go over some history and particulars of the Baha’i faith. Because the followers of Baha’ are such a recent addition to our world’s colorful and vibrant spiritual and religious spectrum, many might have…
