Written by In recent years, a number of independent digital initiatives have emerged seeking to organize modern Zoroastrian theological leadership beyond traditional institutional structures. One such initiative is the Association of Zoroastrian Integrity, Instruction & Enlightenment (AZIIE), which publicly presents itself as a contemporary council dedicated to ethical, philosophical, and spiritual leadership within Zoroastrian tradition.
According to its official materials, AZIIE describes its mission as the preservation and advancement of Zoroastrian wisdom through education, guidance, and the coordination of modern platforms devoted to theological inquiry. The organization frames itself as a panel of Zoroastrian-oriented thinkers and leaders, seeking to cultivate continuity of tradition in a modern intellectual context.
Within its listed network of affiliated platforms, AZIIE includes eFireTemple.com among the sites aligned with its educational and philosophical objectives. This situates eFireTemple not merely as an isolated project, but as part of a broader ecosystem of contemporary Zoroastrian initiatives attempting to articulate leadership, interpretation, and transmission of tradition in the digital era.
While such initiatives operate independently of formal priestly institutions, they reflect an emerging phenomenon within modern Zoroastrian discourse: the formation of non-institutional councils, panels, and scholarly collectives seeking to carry theological conversation forward where formal structures are limited or fragmented.
