As a committed Christian seeking to go into ministry, it was important to Chris Kellam that his priorities were consistent with those of the earliest Christians. So when he discovered the writings of St. Ignatius of Antioch, who had a direct connection to the apostles themselves, he knew they had to be taken seriously.

Chris shares how the things that he found in the testimony of Ignatius of Antioch were in complete continuity with the writings of the New Testament, but how they also challenged some of his assumptions as to what the early Church was really like.

The Coming Home Network was established to help inquiring clergy and laity of various faiths -- or even no faith at all -- with fellowship, resources, and encouragement as they explore the possibility of becoming Catholic.
