What is in Kelvin's Head?

Knowing Me, Knowing You – Monday evening

22/09/2013

I’m doing another Knowing Me, Knowing You evening on Monday evening and there’s still a couple of places free. (I limit this one to 20 people in order to keep the conversation flowing).

Here’s the official notice:

————

Knowing Me, Knowing You – Monday 23 September 2013 at 7.30 pm in the Synod Hall.

An evening of conversation with the Cathedral Provost, the Very Rev Kelvin Holdsworth. This is limited to 20 people to ensure the converation flows and there are still a few places left. Kelvin will be speaking about what brought him to St Mary’s, what his vision is for the congregation and is prepared to answer any questions.

This is an ideal event for anyone new to the congregation but is also open to those who have been around for a while but who have not previously attended one of these evenings.

To reserve a place, please contact Jo in the Cathedral Office using this online form: Book a place

I try very hard not to model this on An Evening With Dame Edna Everidge, really I do.

Always a good opportunity to get to know me a bit better and ask some questions. (Really, I’ll take questions about anything…). Particularly good for anyone who is finding a way into St Mary’s. Also open to old stagers who’ve not been to one of these evenings before and also those who read this blog and are provost-curious but have not quite made it to church yet.

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.
