Alas, “I Don’t Feel Like Dancing” by Scissor Sisters has almost life-verse significance to me so I probably won’t attend. It does sound fun though. So will you yourself be participating, in robes and all ;-)?

I shall be robed for Evensong. Gloriously so.

Oh, and there is social chat space for those who, like Jake Shears and Ryan, don’t feel like dancin’.

Congratulations to St Mary’s. You’ve certainly been in my thoughts today. Twenty years ago today (Whitsunday 1988) I was confirmed at St Mary’s Glasgow by Bp Derek.

Twenty years of Episcopalianism and champagne. I wonder if it is too late to rethink this whole thing?
Best wishes to St Marys and the people there!

Inspirational Conversations: How to change the world
Last week I had some inspirational conversations on Sunday with David Kenvyn, who is the verger at St Mary’s and one of the servers. David was talking about his involvement in the anti-apartheid movement. Now, lots of people in the UK can rightly think of themselves as part of that struggle, but David has been…

UPDATE Free Pride has now updated its policy and welcomes Drag Performers. See here for details: https://freeprideglasgow.wordpress.com/2015/07/22/free-pride-to-welcome-drag-performers/ I’m leaving the post below up here as the discussions it has started seem to me to have value in themselves. “Can I walk with you a bit?
