My Faith
I have been involved with the Baha'i Community for over 45 years now.
I have many friends among the Baha'is.
Because I believe that the Baha'i Faith represents the wave of the future,
I find it important. Just as when my doctor said I needed surgery,
I just did it; when my Faith says something, I know it is the right thing to do.
More people thoughout history have based important choices on religion than anything else.
The Baha'i Faith is known for promoting what were once radical ideas such as racial equality,
equal status of men and women, harmony of science and religion, unity of all religions.
The Baha'i Faith has a vision for the future that I have embraced.

In Spring of 2016, a series of Interfaith discussions began, called Interfaith Inquiry.
The quotes used to promote discussion are being added here as time allows.
(These were originally developed in Microsoft Word, with 16 point font, so they could be printed two pages per side, two sides per sheet.)

Who is saved?
What is God like?
What do scriptures say about men and women?
What do scriptures say about marriage?
What food restrictions do religions have?
What do religions say about war?
I have taught Sunday School classes for both adults and children.
Here is a series of handouts for an adult Sunday School class series for Baha'is.
(These are formatted to print out 2 pages per side, two sides per sheet,
to be passed around and discussed.)
Ideally the facilitator is familiar with the topic.

I have been at times involved in Internet discussions on important topics relating to the Baha'i Faith. The following articles are open, but may be of more interest to Baha'is.
The Sequence of Authority in the Baha'i Faith
Once, a long time ago, I was overwhelmed by people singing Jingle Bells way too much. Then I was elected treasurer of my Baha'i Community. I ended up writing and gathering lyrics to well known tunes, many of which were used as part of my Inspriational Fund reports.
