Hi Paul, I was raised as a Catholic so I had to validate the claims of the Baha'is from that point of view. I studied the Baha'i Faith for many months after years studying other sects of Christianity and other religions. I'm not sure why I did this, maybe it was teenage rebellion. After...

In the UK we have been asked to contact our local Member of Parliament. Our community had a meeting with our MP a few weeks ago and he was very sympathetic to the situation and promised to raise the question in Parliament with the UK Foreign Office (State Dept in US terms). He also said that he...
