The cathedral is open today and tomorrow for an art and craft sale which has been organised by folk associated with L’Arche. The pics on the walls are lovely and it is good to have the place open for people to drop in.
Getting the building open for more hours per week is a part of what I’m here to do, I think. Next weekend we are open for the Glasgow Open Doors event, which feels very good. I deliberately specified the open times as including the times of the morning service, which will be interesting. It is fascinating how many places of worship do the doors open day but ask people not to come when the building it being used for its main purpose.
It may be distracting, it may be infuriating, it may drive the stewards round the bend, but the idea of people beating a path to the door and demanding to see what is going on in church on a Sunday morning is positively delicious.
