What is in Kelvin's Head?

Car Stickers

Car Sticker

Hurrah! Scottish Episcopal Car Stickers. At last! We have cried in the wilderness (and in the Information and Communications Board), “How long, O Lord, how long?”

Our prayers have been heard. Note that the sticker contains a subliminal message designed to make people believe that if that actually encounter the SEC then they will be welcome therein. Clever huh?

You would almost think we had a mission strategy.

[hair by Ruby Skies, tie by Mark Westwood, cathedral by Gilbert Scott, car – model’s own]

    But where do we locate such an object of desire?

    (No, Kelvin…..the car sticker).

    Cloud effects by Our Lord (one of your cathedral team has a passion for cloud effects).

    ….and where do we get the tie or maybe not 😉

    I had never before noticed that even the *ties* of high church types are fetching ;-).

    Ryan – the phrase “salvation by good taste” is seldom uttered in vain.

    Actually, the tie and the red in the sticker clash horribly, but we will let that pass.

    Do I look as though I’ve just come back from having been bought lunch in Fifi and Ally’s?

    Yes, you do indeed. But the tie is vile. Do not fool yourself into thinking that it is gorgeous. Other men may like the tie but you really should ask more women for their opinion. (On second thoughts, why should you?!)

    No Mother Ruth, the tie is an ironic retro-pastiche of vile, which is quite, quite different. It is also not quite so bright in real life. Indeed, it looks a little as though the bolt of material that it is cut from has been quietly fading away in a cupboard since 1971. This is exactly how it should be.

    Do men ever wear ties to impress women?

    Get with the vibe.

    Interesting bit of missiology in the covert message. It fascinates me that I would be instinctively very wary of any person or group that offered to “welcome” me – tour guides, welcomers at stately homes ( and English Cathedrals1) – and yet somehow the Church advertises this as the core of what we do or are. Is it really what we do as our mission? Similarly my kids think that the fish signs found on cars are warning signs for slow drivers or people who don’t know where they are going! I think the tie is stunning – and that comes from a rabid tie hater who hasn’t worn one for over 10 years!
