Not that it isn't still true. It will forever be true, and eloquent. Thanks for posting it.
There is no date on the article which came from the Touchstone archives. I remember reading it many years ago as well and was reminded of it by the thread about Michael Voris’ very frank and heroic confession. A few years ago I saw Huw when I was in San Francisco for a diocesan council meeting. Our parish priest was indisposed so they sent me as a substitute. As it happened the meeting fell on a major feast day and we all attended liturgy at the OCA cathedral where I recall seeing Huw with the choir. He has had a bumpy ride over the years. I heard that after converting to Orthodoxy he fell away from the faith for a period before returning again.
God does not promise that bearing our cross will be easy. Only that He will be there to help.
He went through a lot of changes. Even walked this essay back at one point. He has acknowledged his dilettantism in his journey. Latest I have read is that he is a postulant at an Orthodox Benedictine monastery on Colorado.
