More about Lisa is shared here by a Bahai who spoke with her
directly.
In our phone call today, Lisa shared that, "This is religion
for the new times, and it makes sense.
The new Messengers come and teach new things for new times." As we talked about how she feels, she said,
"It did seem a bit odd to register online, to join a religion. But the more I thought about it, the more it
made sense. It's the perfect thing for
this religion, and it makes sense with everything I have read. New Messenger. New way to join! Even joining is modern!"
While talking about her registration, I asked her, "While
reading in God Speaks Again and
learning about Baha'i, do you believe Baha'u'llah is a Messenger from
God?" Her emphatic response was,
"It's kind of hard not to.
Everything makes sense."
Lisa went to a Catholic school growing up. Her parents encouraged her to read and decide
on her own which religion would be hers.
Her mother always said that this life is spiritual preparation for the
life beyond. Something her father emphasized was that all religions are a path
to God. He died at an early age, but she now wonders if he too was a Baha’i!
It amazes Lisa that her parents raised her Christian and Moslem
(her father was Iranian) and taught many of the concepts she now finds within
the Baha'i Faith.
Lisa went online to www.bahail.us and registered herself and her
one-year-old son as members of the Bahai Faith. She is eager to meet other
members of her spiritual community!
