Joseph Murphy (author): Difference between revisions

Joseph Denis Murphy (May 20, 1898 – December 16, 1981) was an Irish author and New [https://24socialblogs.com/how-to-attract-money/ Thought minister], ordained in Divine Science and Religious Science. Murphy was born in [[Ballydehob]], [[County Cork]], [[Ireland]], the son of a private boys' school headmaster and raised a [[Roman Catholic]]. He joined the [[Society of Jesus|Jesuits]]. Murphy was enrolled in the National School and was encouraged to study for the priesthood and was accepted as a Jesuit seminarian.

However, by the time he reached his late teen years, he began to question the Catholic orthodoxy of the Jesuits, and he withdrew from the seminary. His goal was to explore new ideas and gain new experiences—a goal he could not pursue in Catholic-dominated Ireland—he left his family to go to America. In his twenties, before being ordained a [[Catholic priesthood|priest]], an experience with healing prayer led him to leave the Jesuits and emigrate to the [[United States]] in 1922.

He journeyed as a steerage passenger on board the [[RMS Cedric|RMS ''Cedric'']], sailing from [[Liverpool]], England, to the Port of New York; on the ship's passenger manifest, his occupation was listed as chemist, the Irish term for pharmacist. He became a professional [[pharmacist]] in [[New York City]] (having a degree in [[chemistry]] by that time). Here he attended the [[Church of the Healing Christ]] (part of the [[Church of Divine Science]]), where [[Emmet Fox]] had become minister in 1931.<ref name="gale">Gale{{Cite Groupweb "Joseph|title=Gale Murphy"- ''ReligiousInstitution LeadersFinder of America'', 2nd ed|url=https://galeapps.
