Yes, the dictionary isn't of much help when it comes to understanding
what the Guardian meant by not proselytizing.

What I found odd about that was the OED didn't mention the
pressure
aspect but defined it as conversion:
proselyte, v.
trans. To make a proselyte of; to cause to come over or turn from
one
opinion, belief, creed, or party to another; esp. to convert from
one
religious faith or sect to another; to proselytize.
proselyte, n.
1. One who has come over from one opinion, belief, creed, or party
to
another; a convert.

What's the difference between proselytizing and teaching?
The way the Guardian uses the term it seems to apply to any
behavior
which might put undue pressure on a contact to become a Baha'i.
