Melbourne is a great city and it’s also deeply fractured. I’m hearing more stories of people finding the promises of secularism and materialism empty. Instead, we’re asking serious questions and looking for substantive and good alternatives. The story of Jesus is more intellectually compelling and soul satisfying than we have perhaps realised. I’m convinced that the ancient Scriptures offer a contemporary and eternal answer that makes a day at MCG and the brown nectar of Melbourne coffee feel like plastic substitutes! Let’s explore together... I (Murray) am a long-term Melbournian. I’m married to Susan, and we have 3 kids. I’ve served as Senior Pastor at Mentone Baptist Church since 2005. When I’m not working, I enjoy Bach and Debussy, cricket, coffee, good food and admiring Rothko.
