List of excommunicated Baháʼís
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Excommunicated Baháʼís are people who were followers of the Baháʼí Faith but were declared covenant-breakers by the head of the religion, currently the Universal House of Justice. These people may still self-identify as Baháʼís, but are no longer permitted to participate in official activities of the Bahá'í community, and Bahá'ís are discouraged from associating closely with them.
From 2000-2020, twenty individuals were expelled by the Baháʼí Administration for Covenant-breaking; one per year on average.[1]
