We suggest that you listen to the presentation while
you're viewing it. This will help you memorize it easier.
Please note: We will approach people with genuine love, a humble desire to share the Message, and with complete sensitivity to their wishes. We will NOT argue with anyone over any subject. If someone does not want to hear our presentation, we simply leave politely.
Please remember:
Proselytizing implies bringing undue pressure to bear upon someone to change his Faith. It is also usually understood to imply the making of threats or the offering of material benefits as an inducement to conversion. (From a letter dated May 5, 1982 written on behalf of the Universal House of Justice to an individual believer)To get motivated/fired up for the direct teaching in Melbourne, please listen to the Baha'i actor, Rainn Wilson talking to Oprah about The Baha'i Faith. The interview, in addition to Anna's presentation, is an excellent source on how to describe the Faith and its teachings:
