On November 7, 1998, the Star Tribune published an article on how Zoroastrians are using the Internet to help spread the message of their religion. With approximately 140,000 worldwide adherents, Zoroastrians are trying to create "virtual" communities in order to preserve their faith. Joe Peterson, architect of one of the largest Zoroastrian web sites - www.avesta.org, lives in Kasson, MN and works for IBM in Rochester, MN. He is one of 60 to 70 Zoroastrians living in Minnesota.
