ACRONYMS
		The Baha'i Faith employs numerous acronyms, this site is using some of them, modifying others, and  adding a few of it's own. So that you will be able to arrive at your authoritative interpretations of the material on this site, Baha'i Angst humbly provides you the following list of acronyms and nick names. You'll have to determine on your own which ones are Standard Baha'i Terms (SBTs) and which ones are Baha'i Angst Terms of Elucidation (BATEs). We have decided that inconsistency across the board is a good thing. Below are the most common ones in use. They are not necessarily in alphabetical order. Others will probably be added during various Plans.
