What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • The rules

    Here’s how we are going to get along.

    1. Black shoes in the sanctuary
    2. Play nicely
    3. Don’t copy the provost/pope/prime minister into emails that are addressed to anyone else
    4. No boring worship
    5. Obey the moratorium on unnecessary exclamation marks!
    6. No communion for dogs, not even on St Francis’s Day
    7. Communion for all humans any day
    8. Black ink. Only black ink.
    9. No rotas on noticeboards
    10. Clerical honorifics take the definite article

    It’s a walking account of what happen when sermons get reported by others from memory, isn’t (yes, my blog.) It was a great sermon, Kelvin. I did try to blow my nose quietly – but I had to keep the mascara from running too badly…..

    Kelvin, it was a great sermon. Would it be ok if I reproduced it in our church newsletter? The non computer older Dunoon folk would love to see it.

    It certainly was excellent. Many a ‘preacher’ could gain a great deal from studying your sermons. Could you not start a school for sermon givers? I am sure Nigal Robb would approve

  • Its about Human Rights, Rowan

    I’ve refrained from commenting much on the Lambeth Conference as there has not been anything official to react to and media reports do not give a good flavour of what is essentially a closed event. However, now we have a published address from Rowan Williams. At first sight, it seems reasonable enough. Indeed, he is…

  • Sermon – 27 July 2008 Leah's Lovely Eyes

    [The audio of this sermon can be heard on this page – the text is Genesis 29:15-28]. I have to confess, that I’ve quite enjoyed preaching on the readings that we have been getting in the book of Genesis. All human life, it seems is there. I preached a couple of weeks ago about how…
