I have just issued the following statement:
“I am delighted to hear that the Anglican Church in Brazil has just changed its marriage canon to allow same-sex couples to get married. As we have rejoiced in St Mary’s Cathedral Glasgow in recent months with couples who have waited years to be married in church, so we rejoice with couples doing the same thing in Brazil.
“All God’s children are equally beloved. We rejoice as greater equality comes to another part of the Anglican Communion”
Happy Easter, Kelvin!
Hail glittering Light bedecks the dawn! Indeed.
CHRIST IS RISEN, ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA!
Greetings from Aotearoa/New Zealand
Forgive my denseness, or ignorance, Kelvin – but what are the white bits?! Feathers? Rose petals? No, you could never throw them that high. Have you opened a magnum of superbubbly? – Whatever they are / it is, it looks lovely!
Christ is risen from the dead: By his death he conquered death, and to those in the grave he gave life! [Easter troparion]
Silver stars fired from a glitter cannon. (No, really!) During the singing of Hail to thee O Queen of Heaven.
Oh, I see: they are a miraculous indoor Hail-storm. 😎
Your sexton now hates you. 😜
I was intrigued by the statement made to the Equal Opportunities Committee of the Scottish Parliament of someone representing the Church of Scotland. They seemed to suggest that if they don’t get their way in stopping same-sex marriage then they might stop conducting marriages altogether.

Here’s an interesting interview with Richard Holloway. Talks about institutional unity vs justice, the prophetic tradition and never losing Jesus. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YYoxqd8Xwc
