What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Scottish Episcopal Kalendar 2024

    For years now, I’ve produced a Kalendar for the Scottish Episcopal Church with all the bible readings set out for the year.

    This year’s Kalendar is available online so that anyone can download it and print it out for themselves.
    It is available right here: Kalendar 2024

    Anyone who would like to make a donation because they enjoy the Kalendar so much and want to encourage me to keep doing it is welcome to do so via paypal.

    Alternatively, anyone who wishes to purchase a printed copy can do so here: Buy a Kalendar

    I like those – especially the lion/lily/star approach from left field.

    There’s also the expression “God who loves us, and loves us, and loves us”.

    (A sermon, remembered years later, from a blogged transcript! Fear ye, etc. 🙂

    On Sunday afternoon I did wonder, what did Provost Kelvin say on Trinity Sunday? No, I thought, he will have got someone else to do it – I think last year there was a Baptism or something.

    So thanks for this wonderful surprise today.

    Lil has spent the morning building a Lego village – I have heard the quiet conversations of all the lego people – and thought to myself how good it is to imagine other worlds, other places and other people.

    And now that imagination should lead all of us to encounter God.

    Again, heartfelt thanks for these ideas –

  • The Scottish Episcopal Church and the upcoming Primates’ Meeting

    There’s been a little flurry of articles in the press this week about the Scottish Episcopal Church. “SANCTIONS LOOM FOR SCOTTISH EPISCOPAL CHURCH’S PRO-GAY MARRIAGE VOTE” “SCOTS ‘TO FACE CONSEQUENCES’ OVER GAY MARRIAGE” “GLOBAL ANGLICAN CHURCH LEADERS CONDEMN SCOTLAND FOR ALLOWING SAME-SEX WEDDINGS” And so on.

  • 75 questions for people who want to help churches to grow

    Helping churches to grow is hard work but there are some things that need to be addressed to help congregations to grow which seem to be fairly consistent across churches which are otherwise very different in style. Some time ago I published two lots of 25 questions for people who want to help churches to…

  • To be an Episcopalian is not to be respectable

    To be an Episcopalian means not to be respectable. This morning’s gospel reading is one of the most interesting of the stories about Jesus that are ever told. Even if we’ve heard it before, it still has the capacity to surprise. He said what? And what did she say in response? A mother begs for…
