  • Apophatic

    That last blog entry about the Election is an example of an apophatic blog entry. Not many of them about in the blogsphere.

  • So well behaved

    I'd just like you to note how good I am being at not blogging anything about the Episcopal Election in this diocese.Lead us not into temptation.

  • Firefox

    I know that this is a bit geeky, but I do want to recognise the significance of the Firefox launch today.I'm using Firefox rather than Internet Explorer for almost all my web-browsing now and I recommend it wholeheartedly.

  • Back to Glasgow

    Back to Glasgow last night – to the Episcopal Cathedral for the second time in a weekend. This time it was to go to the launch of a new collection of music from the Iona Community. Well, actually, it was a collection of quite old music from the Iona Community, but stuff that has not…

  • Wikipedia

    I've been tinkering with a couple of the entries in the Wikipedia, notably the o­ne about the Scottish Episcopal Church. This would be more fun if others joined in. What are you waiting for?

Short and sensible?Self:  How about something a bit more funky – some people have…

The people of that city are insatiable.They will have to make do with the contribution that I'm making at the Episcopal Cathedral…

    I took o­ne of these o­n-line personality quizes yesterday. [It was my day off, after all.] This o­ne was called 20 Questions to a Better Personality.  This was the result: You are a SECL–Sober Emotional Constructive Leader. This makes you a Politician.You cut deals, you change minds, you make things happen. You would prefer to…

  • Dog Collars

    There are many mysteries in religion, but none so impenetrable as the question of where dog collars go. I almost caught Tilly attempting to eat o­ne the other day, which might have answered both the mystery of where dog collars go and the question of what is wrong with the cat's belly this week. However, she…
