I
met a gal yesterday that gave me one of your cards and I'm so very interested
in this. It seems like everything that
was written on the back of the card is everything I've ever been searching
for. I would love to get an information
packet from you but I'll give you my phone number too. Thank you so much. You know, something led me to talk to her
yesterday and when I read the back of this card it was like I finally found
home. Thank you so very much. God bless you.
The Bahai who spoke with Karen
shared about their first conversation together.
I had an inspirational conversation
with a woman named Karen who found the Faith through a conversation at a
doctor's office. She shared that their
conversation was so natural, and that the Bahai didn't push her in any way, but
rather just chatted and offered that if she wanted to learn more that she could
call the number on the card that she gave her and someone would call her or
send her literature if she wished. She
was impressed the Bahai, a scientist at a nearby hospital, was moved by her
heart to accept "some things that can't be explained." When, later, Karen read the back of the card the
Bahai had given her (with the principles of the Faith listed in bullet format)
she told me: "never in my life have I felt like I did when I read the back
of that card," "how could the back of a business card have
"something so right!”
Over and over throughout our
conversation Karen expressed just how moved she was to find this Faith. She said that she knows she was being led to
talk with the Bahai at the doctor’s office, and that the Faith "is the
most wonderful gift I've ever been given!"
She had been searching for
faith all her life . . .
Karen was baptized in the
Episcopalian church at 2 weeks old. At 7
years old her parents were asked to remove her from the Bible school she
attended because she asked too many questions.
She said that she's looked into many faiths in her 55 years, but they
never felt right to her. She referred to
herself as "an old hippie chick who has always had faith, just not the
church kind." She said that when
she prays she "lifts her hand high in praise of God." I shared with her about the pose in the long
obligatory prayer and she was moved.
Karen is excited about joining
the Bahai community by participating in service activities where she lives.
