A fireside serves an important function in the Baha’i community, to educate anyone who is sincerely interested in learning about the Baha’i Faith. Baha’is are forbidden by the Founder of their Faith from proselytizing, firesides have become an important way for people to learn about and join the Baha’i Faith.
