As I understand a Baha'i could not enter the Senate or run for President in the US, because that would be political involvement. Correct, but that doesn't mean if a Senator or President became a Baha'i they would have to resign from their office. But could they run for re-election?

A long time ago we bought some prayer beads, and after having them for some years I counted them and found that they had made a mistake and there were only 94. I wasn't too happy about that, but hopefully we have an excuse for saying one less than the required amount! Why don't you just
