Noted English writer Paul Kingsnorth was baptized as a Christian Orthodox this week at a Romanian monastery in Shannonbridge, Ireland.
Kingsnorth later noted that “…as a Western newcomer to Orthodoxy, I have a lifetime’s learning journey ahead of me, but I already feel like I have arrived home.”
The author was quoted by the ecclesiastical website Basilica as saying he first discovered Christian Orthodoxy four years ago, when he walked into a small chapel in Bucharest.
He added “…that powerful experience stayed with me, but I could not have known that it would lead me on a journey that would lead to me becoming a member of the Romanian church.
