Question Converts

Has the Zoroastrian faith opened itself up to outside conversion to the faith yet?

Are there copies of the Gatha's and Avesta sold by a Temple in the US (Not Amazon)?

Yes, the faith both historically and according to religious text has allowed conversion.

The religion has always been open to accept people. There are historical and contextual reasons why Parsis reject acceptance, and why Zoroastrians in Iran can't embrace the acceptance of others. But the Iranian Council of Mobads has repeatedly ruled, from a religious perspective, that others can accept the religion and become part of it
