  • Egrets? I’ve had a few

    A few years ago something happened that set all the birdwatchers in the UK atwitter. A snowy egret blew in on an ill wind and landed on the island of Seil. I happened to be there at the time and saw it in the flesh. It looked more than a little lost and was probably wondering who turned the sun off.

    Recently I found myself on a beach in the Gulf of Mexico and lo, a snowy egret swooped in and landed right next to me just as I had my camera in my hand. That’s it in the pic above, looking a good deal more perky than its cousin who made it to Argyll.

    Proof that I’ve not spent every single day of the last few weeks chasing around the cathedrals, big churches and cool Episcopalians in North America.

    Almost, but not quite.

    Of which more later.

One response to “Visit of the Primus, the Most Rev Mark Strange”

    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.

Now, I don’t know many people with ednet internet accounts, but…

  • Sermon – 4 July 2004

    This morning, I am going to concentrate exclusively on the story of Naaman. It is a story that I first heard when I was in Sunday School ? for some reason, it has been a popular story to teach to children. I suspect that the reason for that is that you can read it simply…
