This good thanks.

Even among habitually good sermons this one shone.

Great sermon – sorry I missed it, but surprised you were not celebrating the feast of St Luke.

The feast of St Luke is today, Monday.

I am really getting puzzled at to the observence of Saints Days. Following a small straw poll, St Mary’s was the only Anglican Church (checking various friends and websites in Scotland and Englandshire) that transfered St Luke from the recognised date of 18 October to the following day (19 October). the SEC church I attended on Sunday morning was observing St Luke.
The appearance of various Saints Day during the sundays – after Trinity / after Pentecost / in Ordinary Time (select your prefered term) – has in the past seemed to given us a means every few years to consider these Saints in detail. However the wholesale translation away from the Sunday to my mind means we are losing the richness and inspiration that these days has and can provide.

We celebrated St Luke with a Eucharist in St Mary’s on the day on which the Scottish Episcopal Church commemorates him. This was 19 October this year. Normally it is 18 October.
There is no confusion in the Calendar and Lectionary of the SEC. Churches with any particular devotion to the Blessed Doctor can celebrate on the Sunday according to local custom. There is no local custom here to warrant that and no whim of the Provost to do so.

Then it is a loss to the SEC.
None of the churches I checked were dedicated or had a particluar devotion to St Luke (including the SEC one I attended).
What was the reason behind moving this and all other saints days away from the relevant sunday in ordinary time when they fell on a sunday?
-
Sunday is more important.
The rules have not changed since we went through this all before, Stewart. If you kept every saints day on the day, you would barely get Sundays at all.
Neither the SEC nor St Mary’s can be said to be losing out as we kept both the normal Sunday and St Luke’s day.

Great sermon, thanks.
It is good to know that our cathedrals are keeping the great Feasts on the proper days.

Six reasons why [some] cathedrals are doing well
The attendance statistics for Cathedrals in England have been published in the last 24 hours. As has been the case in recent years these are quite perky. Many cathedrals in England are busy, full of people and seven day a week operations. The immediate response of the wider church to this though is complex. Indeed,…

Sermon for Christ the King 2014
Sermon preached on 16 November 2014 by Kelvin Holdsworth from Kelvin Holdsworth on Vimeo. Well, I wonder how many of you have met the Queen. Or indeed any other head of state. For in a congregation that is as diverse as this one, we have people here from a variety of places – some from…
