    Why did none of us do this after the consecration? 🙂

    Are you claiming that none of us did?

    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?

  • Ascension

    Last night’s service was all that it should have been. Happy, good humoured and dusted with gold. The little organ mass was a delight. God did indeed go up with a great shout. Congregation double what it was last year. Alleluia.

  • Oh Lord, Kum by yah

    I’ve spoken before about my frustration over a day which is planned this coming Saturday in Stirling for the Scottish Episcopal Church to do some listening in the arena of human sexuality. I got rather bad tempered about it at one stage – more so than felt good. I hope that one of the things…

  • Ascension tomorrow

    Tomorrow is a glorious feast – it is Ascension Day. It is one of my favourites and celebrates one of those stories from the Bible (like the talking snake with legs in Genesis) that you instinctively know is true. Services at 11 am, 1.05 pm (in Glasgow University Chapel) and 7.30 pm. The evening one…
