““The notion that the term “Zoroastrian” refers to religious conviction, rather than lineage and birth, is reflected in a resolution passed by the North American Mobeds (priests’) Council (NAMC) at its thirteenth AGM in 2000. This resolution reads in part: “A ‘Zoroastrian’ is a person who believes and follows the teaching of Zoroaster. It is recognized that ‘Zoroastrianism’ is a universal religion. It is further recognized that a Zoroastrian is not necessarily a Parsi.””
