    It is World AIDS Day next week. To mark that date this year, I’ve recorded a number of conversations with Marion Chatterley in connection with her work as Chaplain to people with HIV and Hep C in Scotland.

    Here are some of the things that Marion and I touched on this conversation:

    • Does it matter if you become HIV+ when they’ve got medicines that can keep it under control?
    • What stigma means in Scotland today
    • How young gay men are putting themselves at unnecessary risk
    • Dating apps
    • Why the church needs to talk about healthy relationships

    There will be more later in the week. Comments and questions welcome below.

One response to “Lords’ Reform and the C of E Bishops”

    Hi Kelvin – couldn’t agree more re CofE bishops. Here in Ireland our own CofI still often acts like it is the established church North of the Border – which peeves me greatly. The message of Jesus is corrupted by formal or informal association with any particular nation.

    Was wondering what preparations you are making for Universal Salvation Day on 21st May?

    What’s that? Did I see one of our bishops in the Daily Record today? Indeed I did, and kudos to Bishop Bob Gillies for leading the debate against caffeinated alchoholic drinks.
