The second part of this two-episode conversation in the Insights from the Field podcast continues a discussion with Moojan Momen, drawing on themes from his recent paper, “The Bábí-Bahá’í Revolution in Iran,” published in the Iranian Studies journal of Cambridge University Press. Building on the historical foundations introduced in Part 1, Dr. Momen explains that beginning in the late 19th century, the early Bahá’í community gradually developed new patterns of cooperation, decision-making, and service that contrasted sharply with the hierarchical norms of the time. These shifts unfolded patiently over decades, as Bahá’u’lláh and ‘Abdu’l-Bahá guided the community toward forms of collective action grounded in consultation, participation, and an ethos of service to all.
