On behalf of the North American Mobed Council (NAMC), it is ZAC’s distinct pleasure to invite you to the NAMC Lecture Series – Divine Message: Journey through Zoroastrian Scriptures. Three speakers will present unique insights into the pillars of our Religious prayers and inner liturgies on Zoroastrian Scriptures. This seminar will be held at the Arbab Rustom Guiv Darbe Mehr on Saturday, May 16th from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. followed by dinner.
