I now find myself very impressed with St Augustine of Hippo.

Quite a character, that's for sure. I trust that you are tracing the rather convoluted path that his faith traveled...

Years ago, as a young adult, I read his Confessions. I accidentally bought them in a collection of classics that I purchased from too good a salesman. Later, as a young Christian I was fascinated with his “city of God” and of the writer of Hebrews’ search “for a city.”

There are some personal elements of this that attract me, and my only sadness is that there are no avenues for me in my denomination to search this out.

Was he the guy who said..."Make me holy Lord...just not yet."?
