This year marks the centenary of GK Chesterton’s reception into the Catholic Church. It had been anticipated by some of his most Catholic writing: his brilliant works of Christian polemic, Heretics and Orthodoxy, were written years before. As a high Anglican and even before, he intuitively appreciated the sanity and humanity of the creeds. His reception, 100 years ago, in the Railway Hotel in Beaconsfield (converted into a makeshift chapel), marred by the absence of his friend Hilaire Belloc, for whom he waited in vain for over an hour, was the culmination of a long journey to the Church.
