Barbara Bridges - The Spiritual Tourist

Barbara Bridges has lived in Swindon for 53 years.
She practices complementary medicine. Here she explains why she is a Bahá'í.

All my life I’ve been a spiritual tourist, looking and searching, I suppose, for the meaning of life. Now all these religions in the world are really giving one true message, and that is, to love another, be happy, and help each other, and we all know that’s not happening in this world.

Then I met a Bahá'í. I listened to her talk of Bahá'u'lláh, and the Bahá'í Faith, and I thought, "Oh, well, here we are again." Another religion – ‘faith’ – advocating love for one another, and to help each other. But I went along to more meetings, I went along to some Tranquillity Zones, and thought, "Wow, this is wonderful, and its free, and its open to everybody!" Whatever your colour, race, creed, religion, everybody was treated the same.

Whatever your colour, race, creed, religion,
everybody was treated the same

So here I am, a Bahá'í: still searching, still investigating, still questioning – and I always will, because that’s my nature – but I know that finally, I’ve found people that are truly becoming servants of the human race.
