Description
Moerdyk Files: An Anthology of Religiously Irreverent Musings brings together, for the first time, a selection of much-loved columns by Chris Moerdyk, originally published in The Southern Cross. For many years, South African Catholic households welcomed Moerdyk’s writing for its distinctive blend of humour, insight, and thoughtful reflection.
This anthology captures his unique voice as he moves effortlessly between sharp observation and gentle irreverence, exploring themes that range from marketing and media to faith, family life, and personal memory. The selected pieces are grouped by theme, allowing readers to dip in and out while rediscovering stories that are by turns amusing, poignant, and reflective.
Among the recollections are memorable moments such as the day Nelson Mandela was sentenced, childhood escapades with the Moerdyk brothers, and unexpected liturgical mishaps involving an ill-timed thurible. Throughout, Moerdyk’s writing remains rooted in a Catholic worldview, marked by warmth, honesty, and a deep appreciation for the everyday realities of faith.
A reflective and entertaining collection that brings together faith, family, and laughter, offering readers a distinctly South African contribution to Catholic storytelling.
