    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.

    Thanks… So is calling you a dean a forgivable sin? Is it a step up or down for a provost to become a dean?

    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.

  • Look not upon the weeds

    Mark’s pictures of his plants (and the blessing counting that he is applying to life) reminds me of today’s piece of wisdom, which is:Look not upon the weeds growing in profusion by the office door, look upon the pink poppies growing between them.I’ll post a pic, if I remember to take my camera to work. 

  • Dunoon the watter

    Over to the diocese of Argyll and the Isles for the second time in a week. This time to Dunoon for the installation of Kimberly Bohan as the priest for three congregations – Dunoon, Tighnabruich and Rothesay. A more glorious day could not have been chosen for the service and the trips across the Clyde,…

  • World Record Evensong

    Turnout last night at Evensong was thought to be a world record around here for modern times. There were 119 people present, though 5 did leave when they discovered there was no sermon. My hunch is that they were looking for St Silas Church and were perplexed by the exquisite offering of music by Purcell,…

  • The Convent #2

    Watched The Convent again tonight on BBC2. Liked the nun dancing the incense around the chapel during a Magnificat. (Which was to the tune of the Wild Mountain Thyme if my ears did not deceive me).I’m impressed with the nuns from Arundel – they are a good advert for what they do, but then most…
