Book Description "Metropolitan Anthony spoke not as an expert on Christ, but as someone who knew him personally and had been among the first witnesses of the resurrection."
—Jim Forest, author, Praying With Icons
Metropolitan Anthony (1914-2003), who served for over fifty years as head of the Russian Orthodox Church in Great Britain, was one of the most respected and prominent Orthodox personalities on the world stage. For him, Orthodoxy was simply the universal, undistorted message of the Gospel for all—a fact he brought alive in opening his own diocese to people of every nationality and background. Several of his books, such as Living Prayer and Beginning to Pray, are modern spiritual classics.
Through his writings and his popular broadcasts, Metropolitan Anthony spoke of prayer and the search for the living God in language that went right to the heart of people, echoing their own deepest longings. The writings selected here—on faith, prayer, creation, and the church—reflect both the essence of Orthodox spirituality and his own experience of the struggle to live Christianity on a daily basis.
Gillian Crow is anOrthodox writer living in London. She was Diocesan Secretary of Metropolitan Anthony's own diocese for the last decade of his life. Her biography of Met. Anthony, This Holy Man, was published in 2005.
