  • Drawing the circle, drawing them in

    Where are the boundaries of God?s community? Who draws the lines which decide who is part of God?s realm of justice and joy? Our Gospel reading this morning takes up from the gospel readings that we have had over the last couple of Sundays. The disciples are squabbling. They don?t seem to have been a…

  • Peregrinato

    Today I am a pilgrim. We are having a St Saviour's pilgrimage from Elie to Pittenweem along the Fife Coastal Path. Not a long way, but a journey nonetheless. The last time I went o­n anything described as a pilgrimage, it was the o­ne at Haddington which happens in May. This was so very strange…

  • Meeting with Jim Wallace this evening

    I'm meeting Jim Wallace tonight, to take him up to the University for a public meeting. Jim will be speaking in the University room A4 at 1945 o­n the theme “Partnership for Scotland”. Everyone is welcome and there will be the chance for questions afterwards.

  • Back to PRI

    Back to Perth Royal Infirmary yesterday to have my mouth poked around with by my oral surgeon again. I seem to be there all the time. This time, the cause of my visit was that my mouth has healed far too quickly. However improbable this seems, it is true.So, another hole in my gums and…

  • Superwoman – Sermon on 21 September 2003

    Yesterday, we had a wedding in church. I always enjoy getting to know people who want to get married. They have a lot of things to decide. What kind of music? What kind of service? What bible readings? I have never had anyone choose the first reading this morning (the wife of good character from…

  • Park of Keir

    I've been asked to be the spokesperson for the Park of Keir campaign. If this massive incursion into the local green belt land is going to be resisted, it needs local people to work hard and write letters protesting about it.In particular, as well as writing generally to MSPs, letters need to be written to…

  • Cats and Dogs

    Tilly and I have guests – a friend and a friend's dog (Dana), staying with us for two nights. Things are not good between canine and feline worlds in this house. There has been much hissing and spitting. Roughly speaking, the house divides into two – cat space upstairs and dog space downstairs. The trouble…

  • Community Council

    The Community Council was a little depressing last night. Motivated people who care about the village worn down by being unlistened to.  Someone from Stirling Council was trying to get us to form a local community development plan. The claim is that this will improve citizen action and increase involvement in local democracy. We were…

  • Light Led

    At the concert o­n Sunday night, I found myself thinking about the lighting. There was smoke and shafts of light from above. Very holy. There is always a basic idea at play in liturgy – some services are band led, some choir led, some driven by involving the laity, some by the children etc. I…

  • The Barnsley Nightingale

    Went last night to hear Kate Rusby and her band at the Macrobert Arts Centre. The band was tight, the singer was hot and the audience were up for it.It made me want to dig out the melodeon and the mandolin, neither of which I ever really learned to play as well as I wanted…
