CONVERSION

Abstract: Refers to the Baha'i community in Yazd, particularly to conversion stories, and how women participate in the community. Of particular interest is the differentiation between conversion based on a revelatory experience, and conversion based on reason. Reason is insufficient to work across group boundaries. Revelatory experience is necessary when the axioms of one group are not held by an individual of another group.
