What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Scottish Episcopal Kalendar 2026

    For years now, I’ve produced a Kalendar for the Scottish Episcopal Church with all the bible readings set out for the year.

    This year’s Kalendar is available online so that anyone can download it and print it out for themselves.
    It is available right here: Scottish Kalendar 2026

    Anyone who would like to make a donation because they enjoy the Kalendar so much and want to encourage me to keep doing it is welcome to do so via paypal. I used to offer printed copies at £5 per copy.

    The summary of the Bishops’ Instruction on Fasting and Abstinence is available as a single pdf here: Bishops’ Instructions on Fasting

    In the excitement of welcoming the news, let’s remember a wee prayer for the people of St Michael’s, who are going to miss our new bishop dreadfully. A well-loved priest’s departure leaves a huge gap in people’s lives.

    Exciting! I suspect that those with names beginning with ‘Ke’ and ending with ‘in’ are uniquely suited to the episcopate 😉

    That’s an idea Ryan – another SEC episcopate is about to go vacant if I have read the latest issue of Inspires on-line correctly.

    Ryan – We should also note that there is a vacancy in the Southwark Diocese with +Christopher, the Area Bishop of Woolwich, now the Bishop-designate of Southwark.

      I used to live round the corner from +Christopher when he was Rector of St Dunstan’s in Stepney.
