What people are looking for

18/01/2013
The following search terms have all brought people to my blog in the last month:
- Lucy Winkett married (I’ve no idea)
- friendship as sacrament (if only the churches were this wise)
- Old St Paul’s homosexuality (A number of searches on this one suggesting that people are not finding what they are looking for from their website)
- health guidelines for thuribles (Keep it clean and use the ethanol to clean the inside. And do it outside)
- humorous reading for mothers’ union (I’m saying nothing)
- can you get a 4 berth sleeper on scotrail caledonian sleeper (I think you can – 2 adjacent apartments with an open internal door)
- evensong gaidhlig (because Evensong is not esoteric enough)
- believing that god has a plan for us all (Ah, probably best not coming to me for this one, I don’t)
- can you have a christening during lent in anglican faith (oh yes – great preparation for Easter)
- he has a unique plan for us (Oh no he doesn’t….)
- Episcopal churches Edinburgh (I’m probably not the primary source on this one)

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.
