What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Peter Tatchell coming to St Mary’s

    I’m delighted to announce that Peter Tatchell is coming to St Mary’s next month to give a human rights lecture and also to be a forum speaker in conversation with me.

    Human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell will be visiting St Mary’s in July. He will give a lecture on Human Rights and the Commonwealth the week before the Commonwealth Games begin in Glasgow. The lecture will be on Saturday 19 July 2014 at 6.30 pm – tickets £5 on the door. There will also be a forum conversation between Peter Tatchell and the Provost, the Very Rev Kelvin Holdsworth on Sunday 20 July 2014 after the 10.30 am Sung Eucharist.

    I wouldn’t presume to claim that something hadn’t happened at St Mary’s — there are few places where the phrase ‘never say never’ has been more appropriate. If such a thing did happen, I’m sorry to have not seen it with my own eyes and impressed that anyone had the energy left.

    We expect nothing less from the Cathedral. A new by-law should make this clear that acrobatics take place each Sunday led by the Provost

    How athletic. Who can do this now I ask in their more mature years?

    I can simply report that some of the servers at St Mary’s are very athletic and are known to visit local gymnasia, the better to improve their skills for serving.

    Last night’s Choral Evensong began with one of my favourites; a piece which gets sung quite a lot at this time of year and which is high on the list of Music Which Makes Me Cry. It was Elizabeth Poston’s carol Jesus Christ the Apple Tree. It is the weirdest thing. Most of the time…

    It would appear that I am spared. The virus that laid me low last week has not beaten me. There seems to have been a lot of people who have been sick with various bugs over the last few weeks. It is good to be feeling better. I’ve been picking up work fairly gently over…
