• The Case for Same-Sex Marriage

    The Equality Network has just published a great resource as part of the final push towards the legalisation of same-sex marriage in Scotland.

    It is called Six Reasons to Support Same-Sex Marriage. It can be found for free online but there are also nice printed versions available from the Equality Network too.

    Here’s a pic of the cover.

    What’s that? What’s that you ask?

    Oh, you’re asking who that is on the front cover between the Proclaimers and Alan Cumming?

    No idea.

    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”)

    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.

    When the women set off for the tomb on that sad Sunday morning so very long ago, they were a devoted, if disappointed and disillusioned little group. They set off in the first light of day to anoint the body of their friend. The one who had been taken. Taken. Tortured. Mocked. Crucified. Buried. The…

  • Easter Day

    Up with the dawn for the Easter Fire liturgy. +Idris blessed an excellent fire which blazed at the appropriate point in the service thanks to an appropriate application of finest walnut oil. (v. west end!). Then into the church to fling water around and celebrate the resurrection with smoke, candles, bread and wine and 360…

  • Holy Saturday

    Holy Saturday is always such an odd day. Began this morning with Morning Prayer. I don’t think that I’ve ever prayed the office on this day before – it always seems a like a day when to pray in words is impossible. However Psalm 88 did the trick this morning. Highlights so far this week…

  • Fourth Homily – Good Friday

    Let us take a break for a moment or two from the events in Jerusalem. Let us consider a couple of images of the crucified one from closer to home. A few weeks ago, I took a funeral. After the service here in the Cathedral, we went to Clydebank Crematorium. I got there just before…
