What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Creative morning coming up

    The intention today is to spend a creative morning looking at upcoming issues of inspires, the magazine of the Scottish Episcopal Church.

    I’m trying to apply a broad theme to the magazines at the moment and so far as I can tell this seems to be appreciated by the readers.

    Upcoming themes are Journey/Pilgrimage/Place, The Communion (Anglican and Otherwise) and something on buildings/sacred space. I’ve a notion that we’ve not really done much on liturgy and I’m going to be discussing some ideas with a couple of other people today.

    I rather like doing this work but being the Editor of a magazine and running a cathedral are not always terrible compatible occupations. Deadlines and the liturgical year don’t always play nicely together.

    I’m always so grateful to the writers of the articles. Some people have the gift of generous writing – fast, accurate and interesting.

    They are a delight.

    I’ve asked before in the magazine itself whether people want to suggest themes for issues and two of the themes listed above come from people’s suggestions.

    Anyone want to make a suggestion here? Feel free in the comments below.

    Pssst Kelvin!
    If you look at the other photos in the series, you’ll see some snow. Besides which, it is a highly meaningful illustration of what chickens tend to do ‘in the snow’; namely they sensibly try to stay out of it!

    “Innovation” suggests this event may recur – I DO hope so – having kept my bugs at home in my sick bed, I was most disappointed to have to miss the fun – but thankfully not ALL of it – I have heard great comments from various people, and now have seen some tremendous photographs – thanks Kelvin for the inspiration, and thanks to all photographers for sharing your results.

  • Sermon – 25/1/04

    Jesus took hold of the scroll ? a Hebrew scroll. And every eye was on him as he unrolled them and read from them. He managed to find in them the news of salvation. News that referred to himself. He read to the people from the words which were their own. His sermon was short.…

  • The Weather Experience

    Someone has posted a comment asking what the weather thingy was in Tate Modern and why I thought it was holy.  The picture might help a bit. Tate Modern's main hall is cathedral size and of course, sits just opposite St Paul's Cathedral, connected by the new wonderful Millenium Bridge. Tate Modern is free to…

Went to 3 churches (St Margaret’s Westminster, St Mary Abbotts Kensington and the Russian Orthodox Cathedral [twice]). Also…
