How Bah ' s spread their Faith A lthough forbidden by Bah 'u'll h from aggressive proselytizing, Bah ' s believe that His message offers specific and important answers to the diverse and grave problems facing humanity. Accordingly, they are eager to share this message with anyone who expresses an interest.
Teaching can take many forms.
Firesides are informal gatherings in the homes of Bah ' s. Short talks on Bah ' principles are presented and discussion follows. Light refreshments are often served, and the gatherings are notable for their warm and hospitable atmosphere. Bah ' s also endeavor to spread the Faith by moving into areas where there are few Bah ' s. This differs sharply from traditional missionary work in that pioneers are generally expected to be self-supporting.
