For years now, I’ve produced a Kalendar for the Scottish Episcopal Church with all the bible readings set out for the year.

This year’s Kalendar is available online so that anyone can download it and print it out for themselves.
It is available right here: http://thurible.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Final-Kalendar-2025.pdf

Anyone who would like to make a donation because they enjoy the Kalendar so much and want to encourage me to keep doing it is welcome to do so via paypal.

Alternatively, anyone who wishes to purchase a printed copy can do so here: https://thurible.net/product/a-scottish-kalendar-for-2025/

Time to check out how I did with the predictions I made on New Year’s Day 2024.

1  General Election in UK – Labour landslide. PM – Sir Keir Starmer. (No great change in policies from the Tory government that Labour will replace).

Yes – fulfilled in every way.

2  US politics will continue to be dominated by Donald Trump

Yes

3  In the US Presidential election in November there will be victory for the Republican Party.

Yes

4  AI/Deepfakes have a significant effect in electoral politics.

Not really – AI/Deepfakes are present but there’s no real evidence that they swung any particular election

5  Conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine unresolved by end of 2024.

Alas Yes

6  No progress for those wanting marriage equality in the Church of England.

Alas Yes

7  Twitter goes bust or is sold or both.

Not quite. Twitter feels pretty wounded but still Xists.

8  The world will be warmer in 2024 than ever before.

Yes

9  Another country will join Nato.

Yes, Sweden in March.

A new agreement is reached between the UK and Greece on the Elgin/Parthenon Marbles that opens the door for at least some of them to be displayed in Athens.

Close but no cigar.

Not a bad year – 7 direct hits with a few misses.
