The LGBT Group at St Mary’s met on 18 February to prepare its response to the current Scottish Government consultation on the bill that it is proposing to bring in on allowing changes to marriage law in Scotland including allowing same-sex couples to be able to be marriage.
In case anyone is interested, here is the response that the group made:
St Mary’s LGBT group response to government consultation
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.

I think I saw +Idris sporting one at the TISEC award ceremony.
Maybe he’ll know where to get one.
Question of the day is whether or not I am an introvert. Several people have challenged the statement that I am which appears in the 100 things about me on this site. I have a hunch that they might be right. Maybe it is time to revise that list. I’ve been doing enneagram and Myers-Briggs…
This has been an extraordinary week. The Shoe project which has just ended has surely made for one of the most interesting weeks in the 150 year life of this congregation. I have found it an extraordinary time. I have sat in the church for much of the week. And watched. And talked. I have…
The shoe exhibition is open until 8 pm tonight and tomorrow night. We will have some kind of liturgical ending to the week – the Compline of the Shoes or something like that. Then it is all hands on deck to put the church back to rights. Shoes, spinning wheel, kettle, jazz CDs all have…
Oh dear, Bridge of Allan is all acluck over a review in last week's Sunday Times which focussed on Clive Ramsey's new restaurant. People are shocked at the vitriol in the review. Questions have even been asked at the local Community Council.How can we clear the name of our village? We have been slighted.It is very…
