Worship - a catalyst in how Malcolm Muggeridge came to faith.

I read an interesting account recently of how worship was a catalyst in how Malcolm Muggeridge came to faith.

And you know one of the great things about this story? we don't know who the worship leader was and we don't know whose songs were being sung - I think sometimes we make idols out of 'clay things' in our contemporary western Christianity - I know I do!

Larry A. Taunton from fixed-point.org tells the story of the turnaround from atheism and communism of one of the 20th century's great thinkers and the person who introduced the world to Mother Teresa.

He writes: Muggeridge was, at various stages of his life, an atheist, a Marxist, a womanizer, a Member of Parliament, a journalist, a spy, a staunch anti-communist, and a Christian apologist. While he is best remembered by his fellow Britons for his television documentaries and an unmistakable lilt, Muggeridge deserves to be remembered for a much more significant reason.
