Notes From Malcolm’s Hymn To Orthodoxy…

“A very big factor in my conversion was simply an association with Mother Teresa, which happened by chance. One day I got a message that an Indian nun of some sort was coming over here. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) said, Would you care to come and interview her?’ And then, of course, I saw her. And I realized immediately that she was a very exceptional person, and I was enchanted by her. She was very eager that I should become a Catholic… and we used to talk about it. I had some feeling that I couldn’t, but then at last it seemed clear. And so one of the things that was so very pleasant about my conversion was the thought of pleasing her. Which it did. ”
