  • Christchurch, New Zealand

    Turned on the radio an hour ago to hear about the devastating earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand. Immediately began to think about New Zealanders whom I know and immediately realise who we will be praying for today in church in addition to those whom we have been thinking about in North Africa and the Middle…

  • The Census

    Does anyone think there is any mileage in trying to persuade the Jedi Knight people to write “Scottish Episcopal Jedi Knight” in the right box on the census return? It does sound like the kind of thing we might well have had, after all.

  • Sermon preached on 20 February 2011

    here is what I said this morning. The first thing that struck me on looking up the Bible readings for this morning was our first lesson from the book of Leviticus.

  • Chucks’s Sermon preached on 13 Feb 2011

    Here's the sermon that Chuck's preached last week. Chucks is a curate at St Mary's at the moment. A curacy is a training post where one develops one's skills and learns how to be a clergy person. It was great to see him in the pulpit at St Mary's for the first time preaching in…

    Just before becoming ordained, I spent some time courtesy of a lovely scholarship in Egypt. With nothing else much left to do in Scotland before becoming a clergy-person I flew off to Egypt for six weeks exploration. I spent quite a lot of that time with Coptic Christians, particularly in desert monasteries in the Wadi…

  • The Rt Rev Kevin Pearson

    Delighted to be present for the consecration of Fr Kevin as the new Bishop of Argyll and The Isles. No doubt there were some from The Isles who found it hard to get to Oban. The weather has been vile. The wind blew so hard during the service itself that it seemed as though the…
