The topic for this Dialogue is “Zoroastrianism”. FIRE steering committee member Mahrukh Motafram and others from her faith will share with us on a variety of topics including the following:
- What is the history of Zoroastrianism? How did it originate, and how has it evolved over time?
- How is Zoroastrianism organized on both a local and worldwide basis? How are leaders selected?
- What would the world miss if Zoroastrianism never existed? What are its unique teachings?
- How does Zoroastrianism spread the faith to new adherents at this time?
- What are common misconceptions about Zoroastrianism and how do you explain them?
- How did you first learn of Zoroastrianism? What prompted you to follow that faith?
- How does the practice of Zoroastrianism affect your life day-to-day in modern America?
- If one wanted to learn more about Zoroastrianism, what are some introductory resources?
Their presentation will be followed by open Q&A with the audience. The moderator will use the Zoom “Raise Hand” feature to identify who would like to ask a question, and enable audio and video for each person in turn to ask their question live. You will need to unmute to be heard; enabling video is your choice.
