"I . . . recently discovered the Baha'i faith and I would like to learn more"


“Hi I have only just recently discovered the Baha'i faith and I would like to learn more about it. I was wondering if there are any Baha'i meetings either in [my] City or around [another city] in Mississippi?   Thank You.”


"I feel lost."


A seeker from Colorado left these three simple words . . . and her phone number.

"I feel lost."




 

"I am interested in attending any scheduled activities"


“I am new to the [Alabama] area and would like to become involved in the community here.  Back in [California] there was a Bahai school my daughter and I would attend. . . I am interested in attending any scheduled activities.”


"I would really like to get involved . . . "


“I would really like to get involved with the Baha'i community in  . . . Alabama.”


"I wonder if there are any Baha'i churches in . . . my area"


"Hi!  I wondered if there were any Baha'i churches in or around my area. I am just discovering Baha'i and would love to connect with others in my area.  :)"


I "yearn for something that is relevant to the current world"


“I am interested in finding a faith that makes sense for myself and my family. I am Jewish and my wife is Christian.  I cannot buy into all the rhetoric and/or ritual of either faith and yearn for something that is relevant to the current world. Thank you.”


"Please give me more"


“My wife and I have been looking for a church where we could feel like we belonged. I pass your church  . . . every day on my way to work.  I am a recovering Catholic.  She is not one, but is familiar with the church.  It is a coincidence that for many years I have had the belief that all of the great teachers that have come along in history (Jesus, Buddha, Muhammad, etc.) were manifestations of the same God.  Anyway, I like what little I know so far (from Wikipedia). Please give me more.”
