Thank you very much for your very moving rendition of David’s Lamentation this morning in between the two readings. You were in excellent voice. I am surprised there are (as yet) no more comments but I am glad that the video held in there until your song was ended.
I will be putting in on my new IPod once I have bought it and,more importantly, got to grips with it.
A haunting and memorable moment…… -
Thank you for posting this Lamentation. As Muriel says, haunting and memorable. If ever I get to Glasgow again I can come to church and hear you in person.

It not only moved me to tears (not that hard) – it raised the hairs on the back of my arms – which is just about vanishingly rare. Stunning does not do justice to it. Just how profoundly the congregation were affected was heard in the quality of the silence which fell afterwards.

Considering the machinations of our leaders over the last few years, the accounts of David’s life are quite up to date.
In our hearts and in our political and social structures we are no better than the people then and we have not moved on.
Hypocricy at home and exploitation abroad is not my idea of an improved mankind or world.
There is not one person in this world who does not need to get on their knees with psalm 51 in front of them. -
Yes, someone said to me on Sunday that they did not think we had moved on at all. However, I think we have.
Clearly the whole world hasn’t moved on at the same pace or to the same place. However, I’d rather live in the UK with all its faults and failings than live in Burma or Zimbabwe or Afghanistan.

The lamentation is beautifully done, Kelvin.
I’m with your parishioner who said that we have not come so very far from the times of David.

Simply wonderful.

I loved the lamentation, Kelvin, having never heard it before. The sermon was very good, too. Thanks

Yesterday I heard the news that the House of Lords has given a third reading to the new legislation which will allow gay couples to get married in England and Wales. It should get the nod from the House of Commons today and then go to the Queen for Royal Assent by the end of…
