It should not be long until the Scottish Government comes to its decisions about how to move forward on Equal Marriage in Scotland.
Two members of St Mary’s, Jaye and Ruth Richards-Hill had a good (and surprisingly long) interview on BBC Radio Scotland yesterday.
If you are interested in hearing it, you can find it here: http://t.co/85R0zdoL
The clip starts at 2 hours 31 minutes in – available for another 6 days.
gosh, they’ve converted you.
Your father must have been overflowing with joy.
Thinking of having some of your own Kelvin? Maybe a bit of a lifestyle change?
Kneeling on kneelers is easy. It is during Evensong when your head starts to drop and combined with the warmth that there is a tendency to drop off.
Never that I would drop off during one of your sermons!
Using kneelers which are wobbling around on a footrest is trickier than for people who find themselves too small to also be able to half perch on the pew at the same time.
At St. Mary’s we have the starfish, the boat, and the snake to find. And no need to count the crosses every week, some weeks we count the lillies. (The question is, do you get bonus points for Shona?)
Waiting to see the bread be broken is important, because if you are not careful, you may miss it.
I wouldn’t discount sleeping, either. When you feel welcome and warm, adults who love you lend you their coats for cushions, and the music fills your senses. I think it must be spiritual.
The best, though, is when the bells are ringing. Who is the first to hear them?
Taking children to Church–oh yes. To quotes the words of Jesus somewhat out of context, but possibly not ” You are not far from the Kingdom of God”. Or is this actually the KofG?
So glad for you, your nephews and your Dad that your 3 generations got the chance to share this very very special experience. I hope you will make every effort to let such moments happen again and again. You all deserve it !
Lay Clerk was evidently having a ‘bah humbug’ moment.
I would say that such moments are a very great joy and a priviledge – especially for those of us who do not have a regular daily contact with children. Godchildren (and nephews/ neices if available) are certainly gifted by The Almighty, reveal the most unexpected of perspectives, and give such love and trust. We have much to learn from them. Praise be !
I love the chance to take my godchildren to church! We all get so much from the experience.
Kelvin: Operation completed successfully on Tuesday – no complications. I am in awe of the surgeon.Tilly: Sticky paws and a bad temper. She is in awe of the vet. [The bad temper is a sign of normality].
I'm going to have an operation on my mouth today. Yeuch. I will continue to appear to blog over the next few days, but some of the entries will have been written and posted in advance. Yesterday was a bumper day – the largest number of people reading this so far. The website served up about 90…
I'm impressed with the on-line petition that has been set up on www.inclusivechurch.net, in response to the events in the Church of England this summer. I've signed it and would recommend that anyone who wants an open and inclusive church does so. The fundamentalist parts of the church seem to want to dictate who is…
The Whole Armour”How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts.”So said the psalmist in the psalm we read together this morning (Psalm 84).One of the things which I tend to do when I am on holiday is to make for the dwelling places of the Lord of hosts ? or at least make…
