What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Tuesday Update

    Tuesday: Useful comment article by Colette Douglas Home in today’s Herald, on the Roman Catholic Church’s position on #equalmarriage: http://www.heraldscotland.com/comment/columnists/core-message-of-christianity-is-one-of-love-and-forbearance.18704767

    Includes good key quotes from Sunday’s sermon and this:

    [Kelvin Holdsworth] welcomed gay Christians to the service and discovered, not surprisingly, that his congregation had increased.

    A senior Catholic source reportedly accused him of “incendiary and uncharitable language” when he issued his invitation last Friday. Mr Holdsworth said: “I think people get weary of hearing a negative message from church people. What they want to hear is positive – about changing the world for the better, about justice, about love.” Amen to that.

    It all depends on whether you think the referendum result was binding. Are we governed by referendum or by Parliament? Why was the Prime Minister’s speech yesterday not made in the first instance to Parliament? Why does David Davis appear to think (as reported in the press) that brexit will go ahead whatever Parliament decides? These questions are particularly relevant in the light of Teresa May’s entirely correct assertion that we are a country with firmly-grounded democratic institutions.

  • Other people's magazines

    Why do people from other faith groups think it is appropriate to leave their own literature at the back of open Anglican churches? This morning, I threw away four glossy brochures from the Seventh Day Adventist church. Recently it was a vitriolic publication called the Bulwark, an extremist anti-Catholic magazine. Before that it was Jehovah’s…

  • Politics and Religion

    From my experience, politics can bring out the best in people, whilst religion often brings out the worst. o­ne of the reasons that I have kept up my involvement in a political party is that in my experience people are much nicer to o­ne another than in the church generally. I know that is shocking…
