Lovely to be with Bishop Gregor for the priesting of James Currall in Largs.

People who run cathedrals in the Scottish Episcopal Church are called Provosts, in England and in the US and in much of the rest of the Anglican world they are called Deans.
For a while, old cathedrals in England had Deans and new cathedrals had Provosts. They made them all deans a few years ago.
In Scotland we also use the word Provost for the civic leader who would be called a Mayor in a lot of other places.
Deans in Anglican Dioceses in Scotland are similar to Archdeacons in England or Canons to the Ordinary in the states.

Calling me a dean is an understadable mistake. If hierarchy matters, I rank behind the bishop and the dean at diocesan functions. I rank behind the bishop alone at cathedral functions.
Usually I find that such hierarchical niceties have been worked out as a result of disputes of rather a long time ago.

Daily Service
Don’t forget that St Mary’s choir is on the Daily Service on Monday morning. You have from now until then to work out how to tune in on 198 Long Wave.

What are these tardises?
[Is tardises the correct plural of tardis?] Anyone know what the strange tardis-like aluminium things are that are appearing on the streets of Glasgow? There is one not far from here and another on St George’s Road. I keep expecting the Doctor to appear from one of them. Mind, I’ve never been a Dr Who…
