What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • How were my Predictions last year?

    Time to check out how I did with the predictions I made on New Year’s Day 2024.

    1  General Election in UK – Labour landslide. PM – Sir Keir Starmer. (No great change in policies from the Tory government that Labour will replace).

    Yes – fulfilled in every way.

    2  US politics will continue to be dominated by Donald Trump

    Yes

    3  In the US Presidential election in November there will be victory for the Republican Party.

    Yes

    4  AI/Deepfakes have a significant effect in electoral politics.

    Not really – AI/Deepfakes are present but there’s no real evidence that they swung any particular election

    5  Conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine unresolved by end of 2024.

    Alas Yes

    6  No progress for those wanting marriage equality in the Church of England.

    Alas Yes

    7  Twitter goes bust or is sold or both.

    Not quite. Twitter feels pretty wounded but still Xists.

    8  The world will be warmer in 2024 than ever before.

    Yes

    9  Another country will join Nato.

    Yes, Sweden in March.

    A new agreement is reached between the UK and Greece on the Elgin/Parthenon Marbles that opens the door for at least some of them to be displayed in Athens.

    Close but no cigar.

     

    Not a bad year – 7 direct hits with a few misses.

    I’m ‘Mimanifesto’ Kelvin, and we’ve shaken hands on high days and holidays, so to speak. I’m a fan of many things about you – your stance over Bishop Robinson, your support of LGBT folk – I’ve written on this subject myself..

    Your efforts to become a true digital native…

    and of course the wonderful music in your Cathedral, particularly in having someone who knows how an organ should be played !

    Keep up the great work..

    Cool. In fairness, isn’t the sun better than in once was? Am sure I heard that they did a supportive headline when Sir Elton John married David Furnish.

  • Every Eucharist is a Virtual Eucharist

    Every Eucharist is a virtual Eucharist. Of course it is. We know this. We experience this. We forget this.

Indeed, time and space are…

  • What if this is the end of the Eucharist?

    So, what happens to the church if this is the end of the Eucharist? Right now we lie in a very uncertain time. Very much thought is directed towards to a mythical time – “after this current crisis is over”. There is a deep desire to get back to normal that exists in both our…
