• The Case for Same-Sex Marriage

    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.

    I rarely read blogs where I cannot comment – and yes I am a chatterbox on line as well as in real life.

    I blog because there are things I long to share – which is not to say they are things others long to read. I do sometimes wonder what others make of a mix of family weddings, current church controversies, sheep keeping and hairdressers.

    I can’t do strip tease – the most I can manage is keeping a one piece bathing costume on. (There is a dated phrase for you!)

    I do so wish there was more conversation on my blog. I know how many daily hits I get, but am not sure how many readers that equates to – more than I used to preach to, that is for sure.

    I am heartened by how many who do not have strong church connections read your blog, Kelvin, mine and Kimberly’s.

    But more than anything else I want to show that Christianity is a part of the lives of ordinary people, who have sheep and hairdressers (you don’t have both – you don’t have a hairdresser??) and do not, not subscribe to every idiocy believed by extremists on either side.

    I rarely comment on blogs, but perhaps you’re right and it’s part of the experience, to conect and open up. I enjoy your blog since I found it, the first church leader’s blog I’ve come accross. It often seems some church people just don’t use this medium, which just cuts them off further from the world many of us live in. Your refeshing view on topics also makes it a must go to.

  • Conversation

    You know Elton John? Yes What’s the point? What?!? Well, what is the attraction? It can’t be his music can it? Part of your soul is missing. [The question is, who was speaking to whom?]

  • Here or there?

    Here or there, that is the liturgical question. High altar or altar amongst us? Do you dress the altar you are using, or the altar you used to use? Do you light candles up there or down here? These are not trivial questions and decisions have to be made. Nothing more precisely states the problem…

  • The Sound of the Photocopier

    The sound of the photocopier was heard in the land. It is a little known fact that the week before Holy Week is now referred to in the Calendar as Photocopier Week.

  • The Scottish Episcopal Church and the "Listening Process"

    Seen this? http://www.aco.org/listening/reports/scotland.cfm It is the response of the Scottish Episcopal Church to the “Listening Process” in the Anglican Communion. We will leave aside the fact that although it is supposed to be a process of listening to lesbian and gay people there is nothing in the response about what any lesbian or gay person…
