What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • The Forum with Michael Bawtree

    We had a good Forum meeting after the 10.30 am service yesterday. This time I was interviewing Michael Bawtree.

    Michael is an international musicial and conductor based in Glasgow but frequently travelling the world.

    Some of the things we talked about were:

    • Can you tell a musician’s faith by the music they make?
    • What is Spirituality and is it the same as Religion?
    • Why commission new music?
    • What makes a musician?

    We also discovered Michael’s guilty secret – he revealed which composer he just doesn’t quite get.

    You can see it all in the video below.

    (Note that the sound is considerably improved from last week).

    Wow! What a succinct and powerful statement of faith — in so few words. In this early very gray and cold morning the Saturday after Easter in Cleveland, Ohio, I sit quietly to absorb this before husband and child awake. My heart and spirit felt a start when I read and re-read these words. Thank you.

    Hi Kelvin, I also enjoyed this Easter sermon. Will the Lenten addresses (“Why I am a Christian”) be available, even in text format? I’d be intrigued!

    Yours

      Thanks for the enquiry, Steven. Glad you liked the Easter sermon. I’m afraid the Lentan addresses were not recorded and nor do we have a complete set of texts for them. On this occasion, they are not going to make it online.

    Lovely devotions yesterday evening. Two Bridge of Allan folk decided to sing Pergolesi’s Stabat Martyr and we decided to build an evening service for Passiontide around it. The music was utterly beautiful.

  • Sunday Sermon – Lent 5 2006

    As we make our progress towards the cross, this year we are reading on Sunday from John’s gospel. And John is the one who always tries to unpack what  it all means. The other gospel writers give us a good old story, but John had a bit more time to reflect on things and he…
