Here’s the next of the videos that I recorded with Marion Chatterley of Waverley Care:

In it we have quite a spirited conversation about HIV and the church. Marion explains to me why she thinks churches are making the HIV/AIDS situation worse in Scotland. Marion also gives details of how to contact her for anyone who wants to speak to a chaplain.
Do take a look.
Hats are old hat. What you really need is a papal ombrellino to keep the snow off! Then you could wear a wooly hat under it which no one would notice because they’d all be so impressed by what you were carrying. Or maybe what the server was carrying for you.
Don’t think for a moment, Lay Clerk, that I have not used such a liturgical essential whilst worshipping the Lord in Scotland.
I most certainly have, though not to keep the snow off.
Heaven forfend that I would even consider for a fleeting moment that you had not taken advantage of the full panoply of liturgical sex-aids available!
I am sure that the proper term Lay Clerk is paraments!
I do like the biretta when traveling…will be wearing one this weekend in the St. Patrick’s day parade. Just a thought, maybe you should change the name of the site to “What’s on Kelvin’s Head.” Just a thought.
Have been trying desperately to find a Canterbury Cap these last few weeks. Seems no-one makes or sells them anymore!
A shame, as my former parish was the home of Lancelot Andrewes and they are celebrating his contribution to the translation of the KJB during a Festival Weekend, 24/25 September. I so wanted to wear a hat more in sympathy with the 17th century!
I shall either default to a skullcap or a biretta, I guess….
😉
Some academic head gear (doctoral level) is based on the Canterbury Cap – try academic outfitters.
I think I saw +Idris sporting one at the TISEC award ceremony.
Maybe he’ll know where to get one.
You know, I’m just not meeting anyone who thinks the pope’s visit later this year is a good idea. In fact, I keep meeting people who think its not a good idea and expressing the view that they would prefer it if he wasn’t coming. I’m not talking the Orange Order or the usual suspects…
Talking at SCM tonight got me thinking about the various congregations that I’ve been part of. Here is my congregations cv – the list of all the congregations where I’ve belonged in some way: Leeds Central Salvation Army (Interesting video here). Clydebank Salvation Army Leeds Central Salvation Army (again) Mt Zion Free Evangelical Church, Horbury,…
Just back from Student Christian Movement. I was their invited speaker tonight. Did the life-story, politics, vocation, usual topic, any questions. Good vegan stew/soup. Good company. Glad to be there.
In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Could I ask you, just for a moment. And I promise you it won’t be for long. Could I ask you to think about something you probably don’t often want to contemplate too much. Could I ask you to think about…
