What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Creative morning coming up

    The intention today is to spend a creative morning looking at upcoming issues of inspires, the magazine of the Scottish Episcopal Church.

    I’m trying to apply a broad theme to the magazines at the moment and so far as I can tell this seems to be appreciated by the readers.

    Upcoming themes are Journey/Pilgrimage/Place, The Communion (Anglican and Otherwise) and something on buildings/sacred space. I’ve a notion that we’ve not really done much on liturgy and I’m going to be discussing some ideas with a couple of other people today.

    I rather like doing this work but being the Editor of a magazine and running a cathedral are not always terrible compatible occupations. Deadlines and the liturgical year don’t always play nicely together.

    I’m always so grateful to the writers of the articles. Some people have the gift of generous writing – fast, accurate and interesting.

    They are a delight.

    I’ve asked before in the magazine itself whether people want to suggest themes for issues and two of the themes listed above come from people’s suggestions.

    Anyone want to make a suggestion here? Feel free in the comments below.

    I love the concept of loitering with intent. God seems to do a lot of that. Thank you for a thought-stimulating sermon.

    I am a catholic and happened to read your website via direction from elsewhere and I have found your sermon very much in tune with how I mutter away to myself in my head in the car or walking down the street. Awareness and striving to seek the presence of God is not always easy but should always be the priority.
    I find it so hard to accept the dumbing down, secular phobia about mentioning any theological subject and so found great joy in your lovely sermon tonight.

  • I probably won't get much posted to this blog over the next couple of days. Normal service will be resumed after the weekend.

  • SEC Website

    I wonder what is happening o­n the Scottish Episcopal Website? The information about the big Provincial Conference has shrunk down to a small blue dot. I wonder whether the conference is going ahead.

  • Film Questions

    I watched My Beautiful Launderette last night o­n BBC FOUR. I had forgotten how menacing some of it was. It made me think about the 1980s all over again. Was Thatcherism necessary? Ugly and spiteful certainly, but did it have to happen? Was it Thatcherism that radicalised desire?

  • Gratuitous Cat Picture

    I'm testing out the ability to put pictures o­n the webpage. So you get a gratuitous cat picture. (ie a picture of a gratuitous cat). This was taken when we were both young and slim.
