The Ancient Path

People often imagine that the Church Fathers looked like their icons and smelled of incense. But, truth be told, even in their writings they resemble more the tattered cloak of Jesus or the dusty, sweat-soaked habits of the early Desert Fathers and Mothers.

Talbot writes of how these men deeply influenced his spiritual, professional and personal life. Coming to the Christian faith as a young man, he grew a fond of the Church Fathers who represent the first rows built upon the foundation of the apostles. And that sacred building project continues throughout history to our time today.
