Word du jour is back, and once again we are relying on our trusty friend, Merriam-Webster online.  Today’s word is PROSELYTIZE.

intransitive verb

1 : to induce someone to convert to one’s faith

2 : to recruit someone to join one’s party, institution, or cause

transitive verb :

to recruit or convert especially to a new faith, institution, or cause
