An Institutional Document of the Authority of Zoroastrian Integrity, Instruction & Enlightenment Preamble This document is issued by the Council of the Authority of Zoroastrian Integrity, Instruction & Enlightenment to name openly, in formal terms, what AZIIE has undertaken and why. The Authority does not declare itself the central body of the Zoroastrian tradition. The Zoroastrian tradition is governed, where it is governed, by the established institutional bodies of its regional communities — the Bombay Parsi Panchayat, the various Anjumans of India, the Athornan Mandal, the Dasturs of the major fire temples, the Tehran Mobeds Anjoman, FEZANA in North America, ZTFE in the United Kingdom, and the community councils elsewhere across the diaspora. These bodies hold standing the Authority does not challenge, was not founded to challenge, and will not claim.
