In 2005, in Encino, Calif., Holiday Reinhorn (fiction writer and wife of actor Rainn Wilson) led her first fireside (introductory presentation on the Baha'i Faith), where she answered the question, "How did you go from being a person who was very uncomfortable about discussions of spiritual faith, a person who wasn’t quite sure what to think when it came to God—to a person who just joined the Baha’i Faith?"

The Green family of Indianapolis took the saying “the family that prays together stays together,” one step further. Baha’is Andrea and Eric, and their daughters, Ashton, 15, and Asia, 12, invited two families of other faiths to join a study circle they were coordinating.
