I was born and raised in New Zealand, then spent my formative adult years in the United Kingdom pursuing postgraduate and professional education and career development, before coming to the US in 2008. I am, among other things, an Episcopal priest, psychotherapist, and spiritual writer, with 40 years of experience in community and health care settings.
Working with individuals, groups, and communities, I use a psychologically informed spiritual lens to bring into sharper focus the multifaceted aspects of our human experience as we navigate between the often difficult challenges and confusing choices of 21st-century life.
This blog is a record of ongoing spiritual reflections offered to communities at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Phoenix, AZ, where I served as Canon Pastor and Interim Dean from 2010 to 2014, and at St Martin’s Episcopal Church in Providence, RI, where I served as Rector from 2014 to 2026.
Recently retired, I now live with my husband and English Cocker Spaniel in midtown Phoenix. You can email me at Askesis55@gmail.com
Sincerely, Mark R. Sutherland
