The Equality Network has just published a great resource as part of the final push towards the legalisation of same-sex marriage in Scotland.
It is called Six Reasons to Support Same-Sex Marriage. It can be found for free online but there are also nice printed versions available from the Equality Network too.
Here’s a pic of the cover.
What’s that? What’s that you ask?
Oh, you’re asking who that is on the front cover between the Proclaimers and Alan Cumming?
No idea.
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!

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.
When the women set off for the tomb on that sad Sunday morning so very long ago, they were a devoted, if disappointed and disillusioned little group. They set off in the first light of day to anoint the body of their friend. The one who had been taken. Taken. Tortured. Mocked. Crucified. Buried. The…
Up with the dawn for the Easter Fire liturgy. +Idris blessed an excellent fire which blazed at the appropriate point in the service thanks to an appropriate application of finest walnut oil. (v. west end!). Then into the church to fling water around and celebrate the resurrection with smoke, candles, bread and wine and 360…
Holy Saturday is always such an odd day. Began this morning with Morning Prayer. I don’t think that I’ve ever prayed the office on this day before – it always seems a like a day when to pray in words is impossible. However Psalm 88 did the trick this morning. Highlights so far this week…
Let us take a break for a moment or two from the events in Jerusalem. Let us consider a couple of images of the crucified one from closer to home. A few weeks ago, I took a funeral. After the service here in the Cathedral, we went to Clydebank Crematorium. I got there just before…
