• The Case for Same-Sex Marriage

    The Equality Network has just published a great resource as part of the final push towards the legalisation of same-sex marriage in Scotland.

    It is called Six Reasons to Support Same-Sex Marriage. It can be found for free online but there are also nice printed versions available from the Equality Network too.

    Here’s a pic of the cover.

    Arrests tend not to be pretty. But then you know that.

  • Here or there?

    Here or there, that is the liturgical question. High altar or altar amongst us? Do you dress the altar you are using, or the altar you used to use? Do you light candles up there or down here?
