Dr. H. Graham Hudgins: Former Episcopal Priest

Graham was born in a devout Episcopal family. When he was 14, he went to a wrestling camp, a leader asked boys who were interested in the Bible to stay after to talk. At this time he gave his life to Jesus. During his college years he slipped from the faith but later recommitted his life to Christ. After college he thought he might have a calling to the priesthood. He worked at a boys school, where he met his future wife. In 1987, he joined the American Episcopal Church and was ordained an Anglican priest in 1991. When Graham started reading for Holy Orders, he was very much an Evangelical Protestant. As he read he began to read the early Church Fathers. This would be the beginning of his journey to full-communion with the Catholic Church.
