I was in conversation with Prof John Curtice about the General Election after the Sung Eucharist this morning.
We touched on what might happen at the election, how a UK government is actually formed, will proportional representation ever happen, will the SNP propose another referendum next year and what it is like being John Curtice in the middle of all this.
The conversation was recorded and is available here:

You are real?!
I am very tempted to produce a spoof blog post ‘outing’ various Christian bloggers. I suspect at least one of them actually is a Syrian lesbian …
Oddly enough I was talking to somebody last week who struggled to believe it. I kind-of basked in your reflected glory.
Amusingly, The Times claimed that the sapphic poetry was, in restrospect, something of a giveaway! I’ve never deliberately read a lot of lesbian poetry, but the dude’s attempts seemed plausible to me (in contrast to his using Scottishisms like “wee small hours”)

Now, just in case there is anyone reading this who comes to St Mary’s who hasn’t been around in previous years at Christmas – there’s a job to be done tomorrow that you might not know about and your help would be most appreciated. As a liturgical church we are vigilant about keeping Advent, a time of…
The Advent antiphons begin at this time. They are mystical phrases that are inserted into the liturgy of evening prayer before and after the Magnificat in the days leading up to Christmas. They each have their own plainsong – ethereal music that comes to us from somewhere deep inside the mystery of advent. In St…
Forgive me posting a video two days running. (I’m still quite snuffly, though am hoping to be capable of thought soon). This video is too good not to repost though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZrf0PbAGSk Thinking of a way of conveying the message that is just too good not to pass on. That’s the central challenge of Christian mission,…
