What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Christmas Services

    Today, Christmas Eve, at 4 pm there’s a Christmas Crib Service for all ages – see the photograph below for a picture of last year’s crib service.
    Then at 6.30 pm there’s the Cathedral Carol Service featuring the full Cathedral Choir of trebles and adults.
    At 11.15 pm, midnight mass begins which will feature the Cathedral Choir singing Charpentier’s Messe de Minuit with small orchestra.
    On Christmas Day there will be a glorious Sung Eucharist at 10.30 am.

    I will be preaching the incarnation at both Midnight Mass and on Christmas Day.

    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”)

    And yet the press insist on telling us, every time they write about you, that you have come out. As if it’s a shocking new development.

      I know. It must be because nothing else much is happening in the world, Beth.

    Michael Stipe went through a period of being outed by the UK press every two years or so for over a decade; you are, at least, in good company 😉
