  • Enhanced Communion

    It is quite extraordinary to be able to participate in the consecration of a bishop in the USA whilst sitting at home watching a screen. I've never been to a consecration before, but I felt very present last night watching the events in New Hampshire.A blessing o­n you, Gene Robinson from Bridge of Allan -…

  • All Souls

    I’ve never kept All Souls on a Sunday before – in the past we have keep it as an evening service during the week. For some of you, this will be the first time that you have been here for this service, though we have had as many as 40 folk out to keep it…

  • Park of Keir

    I'm delighted to hear the news that the Park of Keir Greenbelt land issue which I have been campaigning o­n locally is to have a full Public Enquiry. Quite right too. Many of the local campaigners went down to the Scottish Parliament o­n Wednesday to lobby their MSPs. Together we managed to get all the…

  • I'm back from sunny Argyll. It was far hotter and sunnier than I would have expected.More immediately, I've just come in from standing in a very cold field for an hour watching the Northern Lights gently illuminate the night sky. There were meteors to watch too – shooting across both Orion and the Pleiades. A…

  • Alleluia

    Rejoice, Bridge of Allan – broadband is here.I might just feel a twinge of pride. Broadband has been a long time coming and it was quite hard to convince a lot of people that it was worth signing up for.I felt another twinge of pride last night in having the Primates' Statement up o­n the Changing…

  • Primates' Meeting

    The Primates of the Anglican Communion are meeting in London today and tomorrow. Spare them a prayer – they need it. It is becoming hard to see what they could do that would help the situation, except perhaps all leave and all say nothing except that they have decided to meet again to discuss it…

  • Haggis

    Someone left behind a vegetarian haggis in the rectory the other day.I managed to rescue it before the cat got hold of it. I plan o­n eating it. I do have to get over my squeamishness about eating the entrails of carrots and potatoes first though. I never liked the idea of it all being wrapped up…

  • Music

    Members of the choir from St Saviour's have been invited to sing, along with others, at an induction service in Stirling at the start of November.  I received the music yesterday afternoon. It was unknown to me. It is also unplayable by me. I find it curiously reassuring that someone locally aspires to music that…

  • Sunday Sermon 12/10/03 The Rich Young Man

    Let us tell the story here. Imagine the scene. There is a rich young man. He has made his fortune. Footballer. Every time he gets his hair cut, it makes the front page of the tabloids. You know his face. You know his wife?s face. She is a pop-star. They have a couple of beautiful…
