Here is the sermon preached last week by the Very Rev Peter Elliott, the Dean of Christ Church Cathedral, Vancouver.

Ah goodie. I’m sure you’ll let us know how it goes 🙂
(What an *awful*ly annoying voice-over on the video…)

Do you have the critical mass of people times effort/person to get the wiki going?

Sounds a wonderful idea – now what topic can we use and discuss to improve our worship.

That is a good question ERP. At the moment, the wiki is really working as an intranet. (Or perhaps an extranet). It means that several of us can work together on a page without being physically located together.
One of the things that are very prevalent in churches is the presence of dispersed teams. Keeping everyone one track by e-mail can be quite hard.
A good example of what we are doing at the moment, is using a private, protected part of the wiki so that I can work on wedding bookings with our weddings organiser.
In time, and with help from others, I will be developing various bits of cathedral documentation. We are good at doing things in St Mary’s but less good at writing them down.
Thus, a liturgical manual is one of the goals of the wiki project.
Also things like “How to organise a ceildih in St Mary’s” and “How we organise champagne for Easter Day”.

“How to choose the post-Evensong pub”
And the answer to both the ones you posed is obviously “get the choir to do it”!

I remember signing up for “St Mary’s Hub” a while back, but I didn’t record its URL, and I can’t now find it. Is that the wiki you’re talking about, or are you now starting from scratch with something different?
I’m just curious to see how you’re using the technology, in case there’s anything we can learn and apply up here.

Organ RIP
A very strange day. The pipe organ at St Saviour’s is being removed today. Notwithstanding all the good reasons for taking it away, it is still a rather melancholy feeling seeing it actually being removed. Changing the organ is our big project for our 150th celebration year. A new digital pipe organ has been ordered…

Sermon – 28 August 2005
One of the few non-work things that I managed to achieve this week was watching a film on the television. It was Sliding Doors. Some of you may have seen it ? it doesn?t matter. I?m not going to preach about it, however something about it made me think quite a lot. The basic idea…

Episcopal Blogging
Apologies to Gareth for missing him off the list of Scottish Episcopal Bloggers. He does indeed merit an honoured place and has been included now. However, he appears to be making a claim to be the Mother of All Scottish Episcopal Bloggers by being able to show that he was posting since 9 June 2003.…
