In this collection of talks and interviews Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh explores the theme of ‘encounter’. Including a fascinating autobiographical account of his early life and the story of his own initial dramatic encounter with God. These inspirational pieces explore wider themes of encounter – between the Church and the State, Church and Society, and between ourselves and God in our vocation and spiritual development. Metropolitan Anthony deals with the questions of faith and life that affect us all, in his unique style that is simple and accessible.
