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.
With out looking at a map I can think of three:
Belfast;
The Cathedral of The Isles, Millport; and
Carlisle.
I am not sure if there are others, the next two which are probably further than Glasgow are Newcastle and St Mary’s Edinburgh
No, I don’t think so, Stewart. Partly right and partly wrong.
Greetings from Cowal & Bute.
Carlisle Cathedral must be closest to Castle Douglas.
I suspect that St German in Peel, diocese of Sodor & Man, is next closest as the seagull flies – the radio reception from the Isle of Man is extraordinarily clear down there.

St Mary’s is closer than the Cathedral of the Isles, but only by about a mile and a half.
Pentecost tomorrow. I’m baptising Joshua. Cue much water and flames of fire alighting on all the believers present. (Well, vigil candles, anyway). Much thinking too about the Holy Spirit. Just as all of us who are about my age or younger in the UK are Thatcher’s children in one way or another, regardless of what…
There has been quite a lot of chatter about the Principal of Wycliffe Hall, Richard Turnbull. A video made of a speech that he made to Reform (the Nasty Party of the C of E) has even been commented upon in the papers. (Guardian here and Independent here). He identifies key marks of what Evangelicalism…
Might as well add a MySpace profile whilst I’m at it. Do I have any friends?
Can’t make my mind up about these social networking thingies. However, so many people seem to be living their lives through them that there does not seem any option but to join in. So, there is a new St Mary’s Cathedral group on Facebook. If you are connected with the Cathedral and have a Facebook…
