  • Vocation

    I remember when I was going through a rather long selection procedure for the priesthood a question coming up about photocopiers. I had been asked about what priests do and had given some reply about the priest standing at the altar week by week and being an icon of God's love. Or something. The rather…

  • Electricity

    You just never know whether there is going to be electricity in Bridge of Allan these days.

  • Copyright

    It is strange that copyright rules vary so much from one side of the Atlantic to another. I have been trying to buy some sheet music from the US online. Anything written before 1923 is regarded in the US as being in the public domain – in the EU it is to do with 70…

  • Sermon – 30 May 2004 – Pentecost

    One of the characteristics of heaven is the unity of all of God?s creatures around the throne. There is something deep in the guts of most Christians which tells them that ultimately we will all be together at the last, praising God. And knowledge and language will have passed away.

The news is out…

  • Scottish Churches House

    I was at Scottish Churches House yesterday for a day conference for those who have been in their first ministry position for about five years. It was good to be with others from a variety of churches, though the two largest churches in Scotland were noticeably absent.We were asked to talk about some of the…

  • Yoga

    Who teaches cats to do yoga anyway?

  • Blogging

    The thing about blogging is that most people still don't understand its power yet. It is power sufficient to make new networks or break a traditional organisation. The church that I work in has always been an early adopter of technology – electic light, organ etc all arrived here before they arrived anywhere else. Predictably,…

  • Sermon – 23 May 2004

    This morning I am going to concentrate on the first reading ? a snapshot in the life of Paul, on his travels with Silas. A snatched glance at what life was like for them as they preached the Gospel far from home. They freed a slave girl from the things which imprisoned her. The freed…
