What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • It’s Time and It’s Today!

    Huge excitement today as the Equal Marriage bill comes to the Scottish Parliament for a final vote.

    I’ve been involved in this campaign pretty much from the beginning, speaking at Pride, marching, organising, listening, distributing materials, writing, cajoling, chatting on TV and Radio, preaching and generally getting people to think about it.

    A hugely proud day for Scotland and a campaign and a movement that I’ll never forget.

    One of the things that a lot of people won’t know is that many of the original signatures on the petition that kicked all this off came from students on campus at the University of Glasgow and many of them were gathered by members of the LGBT group at St Mary’s.

    Well, the campaign is just about over. It’s time and it’s today!

      Is offered to sustain thinking regarding the environment. As an organization we need assurance that this issue is being taken seriously and with intent throughout the church. Need to decide locally how best to proceed in this area.

        He appears now to be talking about a second amendment which we cannot see. Chair has not yet taken a vote on the first amendment. (Fear confusion ahead)

  • Divine Providence

    I see that Aberdeen University is having a conference on Divine Providence. The aim seems to be to revive it. At least that shows an acknowledgement that belief in it is, (thank God), dying at the moment. Divine Providence is a doctrine that most Christians think they are supposed to agree with. The idea is…

  • Congratulations to the Polis

    Congratulations are in order to Lothian and Borders Police for becoming the most gay friendly employer in Scotland according to Stonewall. It is an amazing turn around – 20 years ago it would have been inconceivable to me that a police force could ever be named as a gay friendly organization. We should not underestimate…

  • Blasphemy

    The BBC is reporting that the government is going to oppose attempts to abolish the law on blasphemy. “A spokesman said ministers wanted to consult the Anglican community further before supporting such a change.” Goodness. Thanks for asking. On you go. Ban it. Without delay.

  • Epiphany sermon 2007

    Today is the Epiphany – the day we remember visitors from the East coming to worship Jesus, and bringing with them their gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. The temptation, when preaching in the West of Scotland is to dwell on the idea of people coming from the East and tell jokes about people from…
