What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Predictions for 2024

    1. General Election in UK – Labour landslide. PM – Sir Keir Starmer. (No great change in policies from the Tory government that Labour will replace).
    2. US politics will continue to be dominated by Donald Trump
    3. In the US Presidential election in November there will be victory for the Republican Party.
    4. AI/Deepfakes have a significant effect in electoral politics.
    5. Conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine unresolved by end of 2024.
    6. No progress for those wanting marriage equality in the Church of England.
    7. Twitter goes bust or is sold or both.
    8. The world will be warmer in 2024 than ever before.
    9. Another country will join Nato.
    10. A new agreement is reached between the UK and Greece on the Elgin/Parthenon Marbles that opens the door for at least some of them to be displayed in Athens.

    Others were booked on flights and I suspect they had a long day ahead.

    If the news I have seen is correct, they are also now on trains! Or, God forbid, long haul buses!!

    I am glad you enjoyed your time and found it profitable.

    I love to ride the train. (Deathly afraid of airplanes.) I hope that by time I get to ride a train again for a longish journey to have an iPad to enjoy the time.

    With the meeting in Manchester I am amazed that any of the Deans had considered flying to/from Manchester. It is well connected by train across most of the UK and is it a nice journey back to Glasgow through Cumbria and the Scottish Lowlands.

    Were many other Scottish colleagues (Provosts) at the conference giving the Scottish viewpoint?

    Well Stewart, one of the other people at the Deans’ Conference was from Ireland, and it does not seem unreasonable to fly from there.

  • Good Friday Preaching – The Servant Girl

      The truth is, I only really noticed her on Sunday. I’ve never payed her the blindest bit of attention before. I guess no-one ever did. The servant girl who answered Peter back. She’s a woman in John’s gospel but a servant girl in the version that Matthew and Cedric were watching on Sunday. There’s…

  • Why Billy Graham’s legacy is complex

    News appeared this afternoon that Billy Graham had died at the age of 99. The significance of this moment is clear – he was someone who lived an extraordinary long life, met the great and the good of all the world, changed the lives of countless thousands who were not the great and the good…
