Most people who are members of Orthodox Churches have been born into families who belong to ancient Orthodox communities. But increasingly people from the West, even from the UK, are discovering the spiritual treasure that is the Orthodox Christian faith and are seeking to become members of a variety of Orthodox Churches.

Father Peter Farrington was born into a devout and committed evangelical family, and it was as a result of his seeking a deeper experience of the spiritual life that he began to be introduced to aspects of Orthodox spirituality and the history of the Church from the time of the Apostles.

In this podcast he speaks a little about how his spiritual pilgrimage led from evangelical Protestantism to the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria.
