About Suzanne Gerstner
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I can answer questions on all aspects of the Baha`i Faith, but am most interested in the spiritual teachings of this and other Faiths, and the interconnectedness of all religions. I believe that true religion should bring about love and unity. This is what the world really needs right now and the Baha`i teachings have a lot to offer on this subject.

Experience
I've been a Baha'i for the past 23 years and have been answering questions on the newsgroup soc.religion.bahai since 1998.

Education/Credentials
BA in Liberal Arts; Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling and am currently working on an MA in psychotherapy.
