Take a look at what Beth has written about All Souls Day over on her blog. She’s a young medic who works in the local cancer hospital by day and by night and who works at the altar of the Lord as a server by night and by day.

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

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.

Meanwhile…
Meanwhile, whilst the debate is going on about Collaborative Ministry vs ministry that is collaborative on the post below, Chris Blethers seems to be shaking her head in weary sadness, noting the difference between her education bloggers and church bloggers. She characterises the latter as ‘self-aware, sometimes outrageous, often critical, and the comments snippy, defensive,…
