Here’s a video of what I saw yesterday afternoon at the Glasgow School of Art.
Despite news reports today which are playing down the damage, the Mackintosh interiors, particularly the library, were very obviously completely gutted.

I’m fizzing too! It’s not helped, either, by those of our own members who refer to us as ‘the English Church’.

That is completely outrageous! Maybe the SEC should have talks with the Muslims and then we could declare Fatwas.
Or is this the CoE’s off the wall attempt to solve the women bishops/gay bishops question by moving to nae bishops?

As an English Anglican I’m pretty embarrassed. So much for the “Anglican Communion” we’re supposed to be busy preserving by setting up covenants and writing letters.

Well, maybe this is a good thing for the SEC? At least we are not being lumped in as “Church of England” which is perhaps a step forward. The future for “state” churches in the UK seems to me to be shaky to say the least, so perhaps it’s to the benefit of the SEC to not be part of that! It is rather surprising that there is no mention of the SEC in the “history” part of the paper, other than a cursory reference to the continuing episcopalian element after 1690. Maybe all this means that we should feel completely free to reject the Anglican covenant as totally irrelevant and a hindrance to the mission of the SEC?

I’m heading for the West Port to saddle up! Bring back Clavers and the dragoons!

The CofE CofS meetings have been going on for a very long time as two national churches. The recent report is actually designed to include the SEC – check facts with ICRC or read the report itself!

Hi John, nice to hear from you.
I’ve read the report and was not impressed by it. I suppose I am glad that the SEC is to be included next time, something that I acknowledged above that was to happen.
I’m entirely unimpressed with the C of E appointing one of their bishops as an emissary to the C of S though. Very much border crossing. Very inappropriate.

Group dynamics
Just back in after a fruitful day spent at St Mary’s as part of our Mission 21 group. (There is quite a good description of Mission 21 on the Edinburgh Diocesan website for anyone who does not know what it is about). As a group, we have journeyed a long way together. The fruits of…

Another advert
Whilst I’m on about advertising, take a look at this one, which is doing the rounds in California at the moment. [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Q2R7O-0WRo] Rather good, no?

Advertise, advertise, advertise!
[audio:horse_racing.mp3] Here is the latest offering from the Churches Advertising Network. Every year, the Network produce adverts for Christmas. The idea is that churches then pay for them to be used in local media. Quite a few of their campaigns have resulted in lots of grumpy people saying, “That’s rubbish, I could do better” which…
