Rediscovering Christianity

Jesus clearly was much more concerned with journey, integrity, and what we would call “ortho-praxy” [“wise practice”] more than mere correct ideas or belonging to the correct group… He was into a process of transformation more than a belonging system.

- Richard Rohr*

This is the blog of Mark Crozier Murphy, rediscovering Christianity as an adult. I live in Aotearoa New Zealand with my wife and kids. I work as a psychotherapist and belong to a local Anglican church.

This blog is made with the support and expertise of my son, Arlo, without whom I would still be yelling at this screen.

I aim to post new content every week or so - enough to keep things rolling, but not so often that I don’t have another life.

To get a sense of the vision for the blog, please see my first post here

Unless otherwise stated, all writing, drawings, and photographs are my own.

All quotes from the Bible, unless otherwise stated, are taken from the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV), Catholic Edition. 

I hope you enjoy reading, looking, and listening in, and that it supports your own discoveries.
