When I converted to the Catholic Church over a dozen years ago, it was the final step of a spiritual journey that had taken me nearly thirty years to complete! In this blog, written especially for those who want to know more about Catholicism, or for those who have recently converted, I share my story ... and that of many others who have found themselves at "home in Rome."

Chris Schaffner Said:
As an Evangelical, who has increasingly become disenfranchised with the current state of modern Christianity, it's refreshing find writings on the more historical, orthodox Christian spirituality that resonates deeply with me. I'm not ready to "Cross the Tiber" but have developed a great appreciation for my Catholic brothers and sisters who are walking this journey with me. Great blog.
