What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Tuesday Update

    Tuesday: Useful comment article by Colette Douglas Home in today’s Herald, on the Roman Catholic Church’s position on #equalmarriage: http://www.heraldscotland.com/comment/columnists/core-message-of-christianity-is-one-of-love-and-forbearance.18704767

    Includes good key quotes from Sunday’s sermon and this:

    [Kelvin Holdsworth] welcomed gay Christians to the service and discovered, not surprisingly, that his congregation had increased.

    A senior Catholic source reportedly accused him of “incendiary and uncharitable language” when he issued his invitation last Friday. Mr Holdsworth said: “I think people get weary of hearing a negative message from church people. What they want to hear is positive – about changing the world for the better, about justice, about love.” Amen to that.

    (Yeah, I’ve given up on wittering. Transpires Q, in which I wrote that thing, was too CPU-intensive for the poor wee colo-server to cope with when bots came knocking, so it had to go; it’s all-but a dead language now anyway…)

    Mental. On my ‘to do’ list for today was to write a ‘back blogging’ post…

    Very strange!

    Think of it as the Holy Spirit, Nick.

    Or alternatively think of it as synchronicity as many of the rest of us might do.

    Glad you are coming back.

      So it does. Thanks, I’ve updated the link.

      I usually read Fr David’s blog in google reader. What an exotic layout it has in real life!

    Hope Nick starts blogging again too! He did a post reviewing The Dark Knight once, which is more down-wit’-da-kidz than highfalutin’ praepostorial theatre reviews 😉 (that said, do hope you do The Habit of Art! :-))

      Thanks John – you’ve already got a nicely behaving rss feed for your content but I can’t find one for comments.

    It occurred to me yesterday that the Shrove Tuesday thing in the supermarkets really is strange. The idea of pancake day was to use up all your eggs before Lent. Now we are encouraged to buy all the ingredients in order to use them up again. The genius of late western capitalism frying in a…

  • Supermarket Religion

    It seems to me as though the supermarket over the road follows the liturgical year with more zeal than many Episcopalians. They do have a tendency to celebrate things a bit early and also to celebrate more than o­ne thing at o­nce. This post-modern trend might be where the church is heading, of course.Last Saturday…

  • No Sermon

    I was not preaching this week, I was baptising a child instead, so there is no sermon to post.Instead, how about the Prayer over the Water. It is worth mulling over.Lord God, well-spring of life, in your love and justice, you use the gift of water to declare your saving power.
