Finding Orthodoxy

From Presbyterian Pastor to Orthodox Seminarian

Father Daniel Hickman recounts his journey from the Presbyterian Church, where he served as an associate pastor, to embracing Holy Orthodoxy. Father Daniel began his journey at St. Stephen as a catechumen. He eventually returned as our parish priest!

Coming Home

John C. Haley relates how his search for the foundations of the Christian faith led him from Presbyterianism to the Orthodox Church.

"One manifestation of my revolt was to find freedom in those things that society would rather have me forget: whether that be in my European heritage, my Southern roots, or my Christian values, I was determined to search out the genesis of these core values, celebrate their music, writing, philosophy, theater, architecture, art, and yes, religion, and, to the extent possible, incorporate these things into my own life."
