Hello everyone,

I hope this post is welcome here.

For some time now, I've been interested in the Bahá'í Faith and have been trying to learn more about its history, teachings, and how it is practiced in everyday life. I've already read quite a bit, but I believe that nothing compares to talking with people who actually live their faith.

I'm looking for French-speaking Bahá'ís, especially those from France, who would be willing to have a respectful and friendly conversation. My goal isn't to debate or persuade anyone, but simply to gain a better understanding of your personal experiences, your journey, and what led you to embrace the Bahá'í Faith. Dm

Good evening. Peace be upon the one who seeks guidance.

We are going to talk about something I find difficult to understand.

Bahá'u'lláh withdrew into seclusion in Kurdistan and lived as a dervish. However, what confuses me is that he was originally a Shi'a Muslim, then he became a Bábí, later lived as a dervish, and before claiming his revelation he even began praying like the Sunnis. None of this makes sense to me.

Could you please clarify this part of his history and explain how these changes fit togethe

Hello,

I am Catholic and I would like to become Orthodox. What would be the proper way to do so?

I live on an overseas island, and unfortunately, I have not been able to find an Orthodox church here at the moment. Are there any people living there on this subreddit, or anyone who knows how to proceed in this kind of situation?

Thank you very much for your responses and your help.

Respectfully.
