Warren Odess-Gillett interviews Sorour Payman, a Baha’i from Iran whose paternal grandfather was a Zoroastrian in the 19th century. When her grandfather heard about the Baha’i Faith he wrote to Baha’u’llah, the prophet-founder of the Baha’i Faith and asked Him seven questions. In the Zoroastrian Faith, seven is a very holy number. Baha’u’llah responded to her grandfather in a tablet called “Seven Questions Answered”. It has been recently translated into English and can be found in the Baha’i compilation Tabernacle of Unity.

An American Baha’i now living in Bulgaria. Greg went to Harvard to study physics but ended up getting his PhD in Economics. After college Greg worked for the International Monetary Fund of the World Bank for 27 years. His work took him to such countries as Haiti, Sierra Leone and Madagascar. In the interview we discuss globalization and his new book One World, One People: How Globalization is Shaping Our Future. I apologize for the poor quality of the recording. I was having difficulty with VFR’s studio telos (the thingy that transfers the output of the soundboard to the telephone line). Greg couldn’t hear me, so I had to have the microphone way up, which created a terrible hum and allowed background noise to filter into the interview. However, the interview is still well worth listening to. Greg has two short interviews posted on line at the First Business Morning News website: Interview 1 and Interview 2.

Warren Odess-Gillett interviews Owen Allen, a Baha’i who grew up in rural Australia; went to the big city for boarding high school and university where he studied physiotherapy. He returned to the rural life after university by settling in a rural part of Queensland, where he ran into the Baha’i Faith. His mother’s first reaction to Owen becoming a Baha’i was “why did you join a religion whose members get killed!” referring to the persecution of the Baha’is in Iran. This is my first attempt at using Skype for the interview. I’m not thrilled about the quality, but it may be a tad clearer than through the telephone.
