    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.

    I’m delighted that the new leader of the Episcopal Church in the states is the Rt Revd Katharine Jefferts.Two things have impressed me about her so far.Firstly, that when all the world’s media was pointing in her direction to focus on the supposed significance of her gender, she used the opportunity to point to the…

    Yes, to Edinburgh for the glories of High Mass at St Michael and All Saints. (Why they did not become All Saints and All Angels when those 2 churches merged, I will never know – St M and All Ss never trips off the tongue as well).I tend to go back to that church for…
