Worldwide there are less than 700 thousand active Bah\u00e1\u02beists, which is in conflict with the<br \/>\nnumbers given by Arda and by Baha\u2019i statistic (from six to seven millions of adherents). Although an<br \/>\nattempt to prove that the data provided by Bah\u00e1\u02beis are false or inflated is not made, an argument<br \/>\nis presented that this data reflects good missionary results. However, since the Baha\u02bei faith lacks<br \/>\nconversion rituals and collective rituals which would strength religious identity, it is argued here that<br \/>\nthe Bah\u00e1\u02bei faith is not able to turn new converts into stable adherents.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> the Bah\u00e1\u2019i faith; apostasy; conversion; religious identity; Bah\u00e1\u2019ist<br \/>\nTHEOLOGICAL REVIEW, Vol. 92, 2021, No. 1, Number of Article 4, p. 54 \u2013 70.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DOI:<\/strong> 10.14712\/12117617.92.1.4<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Magdalena Vytla\u010dilov\u00e1 PDF APOSTASY AND THE LEVEL OF ACTIVITY IN THE BAH\u00c1\u2019I FAITH Abstract: The Bah\u00e1\u2019i faith is usually described as one of fastest growing religions in the world.
