  • Health Update

    Thank you to those who have been enquiring about my health. Here’s the current bulletin. I saw my doctor yesterday and we agreed that although I’m improved, I’m not recovered from the flu yet. I am ever more convinced that real flu (Not “man flu”, not “a bit fluey”, not “I had the flu yesterday”…

  • What gives you hope?

    Although a little better today, I’m still not up to taking meetings and services and so others are filling in left right and centre and I’m most grateful to everyone. Monday evening is an example – the LGBT group will still be meeting but will be led by one of its members rather than by…

  • Scottish Episcopal Origins

    Hermano David | Brother Dah•veed has asked me a question in a different place but I’m moving it here to a separate post for easier linking. David asks: Could you Scottish Piskies assist me in a matter concerning your church? On another blog someone has asserted that all churches of the Anglican Communion are the…

  • Ecumenical News #3

    Don’t forget that the Vice Provost, the Rev Cedric Blakey is preaching at the local West End Action for Churches Together (ACTS) service on Sunday evening at 7 pm in Wellington Church.

This is sad news indeed and all the more so for those who have put an enormous amount of energy into trying to revive its fortunes in recent years. The…

  • The Flu

    The last couple of days, I’ve been down with a nasty dose of the flu and it seems it is not over yet. My doctor assures me that it is the flu and not consumption, however, I do feel that it is worthy of an opera plot. It seems that if you think you might…

  • Baptism!

    Kudos to Gordon Smith for the pics.

  • Changing the mobile

    I’ve just changed my mobile. (That’s a cell-phone for US readers). The trouble is, I think that the mobile phone economy is a place of complete madness. I don’t understand all the options. I find the whole thing tricky to navigate. I didn’t really text much until about 2 years ago and indeed, there was…

  • Archbishop promotes Bisexual’s Bible

    Oh, do forgive me for the attention seeking title. I just couldn’t resist. Its just that I find myself gently raising a curious eyebrow at the current love-in being manufactured for the anniversary of the King James Version of the Bible. When I heard that the Archbishop of Canterbury had based his New Year message…
