Project Gutenberg 2008-01-06 Public domain in the USA. 102 Golden, M. (Meletios) Conversion of a High Priest into a Christian Worker E-text prepared by Tamise Totterdell, Curtis Weyant, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Conversion of a High Priest into a Christian Worker" by M. Golden is a personal conversion narrative written in the early 20th century. The work recounts the author's journey from a position of authority within the Greek Orthodox Church to a life devoted to Christian ministry. It explores themes of faith, sacrifice, and the individual's relationship with God, particularly emphasizing how those in religious authority can follow a more humble path aligned with Christ's teachings. At the start of the text, the author reflects on his departure from Athens, describing the contrasting opulence of royal life and the rich cultural heritage of Greece. Golden introduces his decision to leave his role as a high priest, spurred by a deeper calling from God, which prompts him to seek out a life of practical Christian service. His contemplations during the journey to America underscore his internal conflict and desire to embrace a new identity that prioritizes spiritual authenticity over ecclesiastical privilege. The opening establishes a profound narrative steeped in personal discovery as Golden prepares to forge a new path in his ministry amidst a culturally rich backdrop.
