"Traditionally...one had to be the child of Zoroastrian father in order to receive navjote (like a bar-mitzvah, admitting you as a member of the religion). But then a so-called liberal group of Zoroastrian priests performed the ceremony in New York for Joseph Peterson, a native Minnesotan who is well versed in Zoroastrianism. This caused widespread disagreement...at a time when Zoroastrianism was already in decline."
