You can find coverage of the General Synod of the Scottish Episcopal Church on twitter at http://twitter.com/secsynod
(It is me who is tweeting).
Questions welcome either to that account or to me on @thurible.
There are details of how to follow the synod over on http://www.scotland.anglican.org including details of the live audio feed.
Ryan, I think you are right on principle, and I know lots of churches that have made the switch in the States. It’s easy enough to do on paper, too. But somehow it is just so much easier to say LGBT than GLBT (though GBTL would be OK verbally).
p.s. — Kelvin, I find it a really helpful list. It seems like something that should be circulated beyond the readership of your blog (wide though that is). Clergy mailing, perhaps? Inspires? MU newsletters? My Weekly and The People’s Friend?

There is a new Scottish Episcopal Blogger added to the list.Step forward and take a bow, Christine McIntosh from Dunoon.
Well, I’ve managed to stick to the discipline of posting to the Photoblog every day. There were doubters, there were doubters. One dedicated reader commented – too much nature. I never did take many photographs of people. People will never sit still when you ask them to, unlike trees, who do their best.Take a peek…
One of today’s activities is a meeting of the Area Council of local Episcopal congregations. Part of what we are doing tonight is reviewing the latest revision of the Baptism liturgy. This revision started some 31 years ago. We must be nearly there now.No, really.
This week on my day off, I went down to Edinburgh to see an art exhibition. It is a display of the all the art that has been collected by Sir Timothy Clifford over the last 21 years that he has been the director of the National Gallery of Scotland. I was wandering around, looking…
