What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Votes for Nuns

    The synod decides (by an extremely close vote in the house of clergy) to allow a religious community to elect a voting member of Diocesan Synod.

    I speak against on the grounds that religious communities can be a haven from the politics of the church.

    I also ask whether religious communities will now be expected to pay quota. (Apparently that will be up to each diocese).

    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.

    Back to Perth Royal Infirmary yesterday to have my mouth poked around with by my oral surgeon again. I seem to be there all the time. This time, the cause of my visit was that my mouth has healed far too quickly. However improbable this seems, it is true.So, another hole in my gums and…

  • Superwoman – Sermon on 21 September 2003

    Yesterday, we had a wedding in church. I always enjoy getting to know people who want to get married. They have a lot of things to decide. What kind of music? What kind of service? What bible readings? I have never had anyone choose the first reading this morning (the wife of good character from…
