"One path leads home, a thousand into the wilderness." - C. S. Lewis

The cross and the machine...one of the most beautiful, succinct and eloquent essays I have ever read.... I was born a muslim, I had a vision of Christ...and became a christian, the only christianity I knew Protestantism , now five years later, I think the lord christ is calling me home...I am reading the church fathers, some of them I am literally told their names, i just hear the name in my spirit, I google only to find it is an orthodox saint....I am realising that the end is as the beginning, the faith of the first century may be the triumphant faith of the last century before the lords return...the Lord is hand, May the Holy Son of God have mercy on us sinners..

I love that bit about feeling "hunted by Christ". I was like him, I didn't want to be a Christian, I didn't want the Bible to be true, and then when I realized that it was and that God was calling me, I decided to start cooperating.

I am a writer and a painter. I became Orthodox in the mid-1990s. I currently attend a Russian Orthodox monastery church in Calistoga, California. It is a joy to be in the presence of people of faith. Those who fail see the miraculous in ordinary things are willfully ignorant.

This seems almost unsettling close to my story :o). I was an Atheist - came to buddhism - then neopaganism - and then to Orthodox christianity. And I am actually attending a romanian orthodox church aswell...

Yes!! I'm so happy with this video. I also went from paganisme to Orthodoxy! It's still very difficult most of the time but I know that focusing on God is the best thing to do :)

Chesterton made the observation about the “Anything BUT Christ” attitude found in western spiritual seekers in the beginning of the book: The Everlasting Man.

I'm English from an Irish background. Because I was raised in an Irish Catholic family, it was in a way sort of acceptable to people for cultural reasons so long as you were not devout. Despite the upbringing I drifted away from it as primarily disillusioned with the Novus Ordo Mass. I was interested in new age spiritualism for a while but that faded. I discovered Orthodoxy in Greece on a lads holiday in 2010 which started my journey. I have been Orthodox for a year now ☦

It fills my heart with joy to hear his story...as a Romanian Christian Orthodox even though we are all brothers and sisters into Christ 🙏

Wow, i can really identify with him. I too was a pagan for a long time, and that feeling of being "hunted by Christ" never really left me in all those years. I realized that paganism was just an excuse to my violent and agressive behaviour and when i finally gave Christ a chance, the "feeling" was so marvelous that i almost cried.

Nothing compares to it, because it's the TRUTH

Another excellent video! Thanks Herman . 😄👍🏻

I am a recent convert from Roman Catholicism to Eastern Orthodoxy!

Excellent interview🙏 As a Catholic I believe he is on the right path🙏 Jesus is the Saviour and our world is falling apart because He is being rejected by so many who are buying into agressive secularism which leads to utter despair😭 Jesus offers the only hope because He promises us eternal salvation🙏 Pray for huge conversions🙏

Christianity is dangerous, because it is The Truth, and there is One Truth, as there is One Church ... It rebukes and challenges the world around us, while never failing to love it with the Love of Christ ... This is a very unsettling paradox ... It's like being invited personally by Christ Himself into a dark closet which He assures you is just exactly where you need to be ... But you have to say yes and take that first step, then another, then another ... The Light really does shine in the darkness ... ☦️☦️☦️

Great conversation

Such a long journey. A blessing death didn’t intervene before your revelation ….

I hope his wife becomes Orthodox too. I have meant many wonderful Indian Orthodox Christians.
