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).

    The absolute honesty and humility with which your Primus in SEC conducts himself is an inspiration to me, a retired but active A.C. priest in ACANZP, whose experience of some bishops has been less than inspirational. SEC, and its historic links with TEC in North America have encouraged me to believe that God is truly the God of Love – rather than of canonical obedience and rules and regulations.

    Thanks for these glimpses of the authenticity of Anglicanism in Scotland.

    I am a liturgical magpie. When I see pretty things glistening and shiny, I pick them up. They become mine.Thus today, on finding a hymn whose tune I liked in the excellent new Church of Scotland hymnbook that was not to my theological tastes, I rewrote it. It is a little lesson in alternative views…

  • Sermon – 1 January 2006

    The imaginative hymn that we have just sung (Brian Wren’s Bring Many Names) is a salutary reminder that one name was never enough for our God. Whether we think of God’s doings in the Hebrew scriptures or in the Greek testament to Jesus Christ, we find that God is known by many, many names. A…
