The years between 1964 and 1973 saw a large number of young people becoming Bahá’ís, among them the author, Deborah Clark Vance. What was their motivation, she wondered. How, she asks, did the social environment of that eventful decade influence the thought processes of that generation of youth? What were they seeking and why did they find the answers in the Bahá’í Faith? And what has enabled them to remain actively engaged in the religion for half a century?
Vance interviewed American Bahá’ís who heard of the religion for the first time when they were still in their teens or early twenties and became the first Bahá’ís in their families – second century believers. Here are their stories. Learn about their lives, experiences and thoughts in their own voices.
