What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Aha

    Had an aha moment this evening when this question popped into my head… Are the Jeffrey John and Gene Robinson affairs not just reruns of the Donatist controversy? If so, of course, we know what the outcome will be.

  • Internet?

    To me, the net is all about people. Community breaks out where people have meeting places and all of a sudden, we have the power for people to meet in so many new ways. There are far too many places online where we are offered information only as though we are supposed to think of…

  • June

    What happens in June? I always think that there will be time for everything once the exams are over at the University and I get an “extra” working day each week because I don’t need to go there on a Thursday. Summer weddings and the General Synod don’t help, of course. Spent yesterday getting Saturday’s…

  • Dentists and Vets

    It is far, far easier getting an appointment for Tilly to have her teeth checked than it is to get an appointment for me to have mine checked.

  • God is Black

    Robert Beckford's documentary about the rise of African Christianity, “God is Black” was excellent. So good, it made me wish I had a video recorder that I could work.

  • No sermon today

    No sermon today. This year was my last year of a four year term o­n the General Synod. It is the first when I have managed it all well – stayed in a hotel in Edinburgh instead of going backwards and forwards every day and have also arranged for someone else to preach today, so…

  • General Synod

    I’m back from the General Synod in Edinburgh. I think that of the four years that I have been there, I probably enjoyed this one more than I have before. The business was not that heavy.
