What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Seasons of Love: A retreat for gay and bisexual men

    As I indicated in this blog a few weeks ago, I’m going to be co-leading a retreat for gay and bisexual men in March.

    Anyone who wants to know more can find details on the retreat website at www.retreat.maniple.co.uk

    Pilgrimage/Retreating/Spirituality stuff seems very much to be on the rise and this is just one of the things that I’m planning to do in this area over the next period of time. In my head, I’m also planning a city-based pilgrimage but details of that will have to wait for a bit.

    Anyone with any questions about this retreat, do get in touch. This one happens to be for men only – again, I suspect that I’ll find myself running a mixed retreat for LGBT folk sometime too.

    Bookings are now open for this one and places are limited.

    Well, el Papa, gave us the Ratsfinger again. Twice in one trip.

    That has to be a record! Twice in four days.

    Kelvin, do the RCs lump everyone in the Encyclical? I ask because your orders are not really English orders are they?

    Thanks David | Dah•veed – I think that all Anglicans are lumped together. I am indeed not in English orders.

    Its worth reading Apostolicae Curae all the same. Much of the argument focuses on the actual form of the Anglican ordinal at the time.

    David | Dah•veed,
    In fairness to Benedict, it was a very nice stole. One wonders if he has two millenia of papal vestments to chose from – The Vatican must have the Mother of all Dressing Up Cupboards! 🙂

    I’ve been watching the first part of the House of Cards trilogy on BBC4 this week. Having seen and enjoyed the second two parts of the trilogy previously, it is all starting to make more sense on being able to see the first part of the story. It is a horribly wicked tale of hypocrisy…
