Here’s a video of a conversation I had with one of the members of St Mary’s last Sunday. Andy Winter was chatting to me about the way treatment and perception of HIV has changed over the years. We talked about new PrEP medicines, reducing stigma and the extraordinary news that the epidemic could be ended by 2030.
Take a look here:
Thanks for linking +David’s post. I’d read it, and the first few comments, but missed that later discussion. It represents a new level of blog dialogue in the SEC, I think.
Who’ll be next, do you think?
Thanks for the episcopal summary – I take back my previous criticisms about the bishops. They are being rather splendidly thoughtful at the moment. As was Archbish Sentamu on Radio 4’s question time 🙂

I’ve not been very far in the last few days – I’m still under the weather with a bug I came down with last weekend. Hopefully I’ll start to get moving again in the next couple of days, but so far I’ve been trapped in Praepostorial Towers and unable to do much other than rest…
Though I was laid up in a bed of affliction and suffering over the weekend (I had a bug) St Mary’s had a busy weekend on the wireless. Firstly another New Every Morning service on BBC Radio Scotland with some choral music, a reading from Christabel and a sermon and prayers from me which you…
The above picture seems to be the one that shows the essence of the Animal Blessing service that we had over the weekend. Someone suggested that it showed Opal and myself planning world domination. However, it is simply me offering pastoral care to one who normally engages with St Mary’s online. There are lots more…
