Deborah Gyapong on an Anglican Journey into the Catholic Faith

"Recent posts . . . reminded me of how high the bar seemed to be set for us Anglicans coming into the Catholic Church. I remember my anger at all the hurdles we were required to jump over to become part of the Catholic family compared to what seemed to be incredibly lax standards for cradle Catholics. Now, I thank God for how rigorous it was.

"The double-standard seemed so unfair because it focused only on us as individual believers and not on the communal nature of our parish families. . . ."

In a recent commentary, writer Deborah Gyapong reflected on the blessing of the hurdles she and fellow Anglicans had to overcome during their journey home into the Catholic Church.
