    Have I ever said out loud that generally speaking, I think stained glass is one of the more over-rated art forms….?

    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.

Ian Ansdell must work very hard to keep up such a useful digest of Scottish church news. So, thanks Ian for listing the blog. I’ve updated…

  • Scottish Episcopalian

    I’m very surprised to read the lead article in the Scottish Episcopalian this month. It implies that the members of the General Synod from this Diocese and from Brechin have formed themselves into a support group to fight to save St Serf’s old folks home. My memory of the meeting in question is that no…

  • Sermon – 27 June 2004

    The gospel passage this morning [Luke 9:51-62] is presumed by commentators to be one that is full of so-called ?hard sayings? and difficult circumstances. Firstly there is the whiff of something distinctly racist about the story of the Samaritan village. Then Jesus appears to be encouraging people to follow him into a life of poverty…
