In September 2024, I was asked to talk to the newly-initiated Orthodox Fellowship Ireland, at their annual gathering. Many of the people involved are new to Orthodoxy, and indeed Christianity, and some are just exploring or dipping their toes in the water, so I thought it might be useful for me to talk about how I ended up in that water myself.
So I offered this talk, which tried to lay out the key points in my messy, clueless and often very prideful spiritual journey, which despite it all still managed to get me into the true harbour, through no sailing ability of my own.
This talk was given without notes, and with various occasionally comic interruptions, so it’s a masterpiece of imperfect delivery and silly asides. But I hope there might be a few useful thoughts in it despite that.
