What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • What people are looking for

    The following search terms have all brought people to my blog in the last month:

    • Lucy Winkett married (I’ve no idea)
    • friendship as sacrament (if only the churches were this wise)
    • Old St Paul’s homosexuality (A number of searches on this one suggesting that people are not finding what they are looking for from their website)
    • health guidelines for thuribles (Keep it clean and use the ethanol to clean the inside. And do it outside)
    • humorous reading for mothers’ union (I’m saying nothing)
    • can you get a 4 berth sleeper on scotrail caledonian sleeper (I think you can – 2 adjacent apartments with an open internal door)
    • evensong gaidhlig (because Evensong is not esoteric enough)
    • believing that god has a plan for us all (Ah, probably best not coming to me for this one, I don’t)
    • can you have a christening during lent in anglican faith (oh yes – great preparation for Easter)
    • he has a unique plan for us (Oh no he doesn’t….)
    • Episcopal churches Edinburgh (I’m probably not the primary source on this one)

    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.

    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 🙂

    Kelvin – thanks for your linking and attention-drawing activities. It’s hard not to be aware that there is a common thread linking all of those ‘over the parapet’ contributions – which is that the tone of recent contributions from our Catholic colleagues has been unfortunate. But now that we seem to have some momentum, I hope we can move on to be a bit more successful at shaping an agenda rather than simply responding to others.

    What’s the clergy equivalent of a mitre over the parapet?

    A biretta over the altar?

    I can see snow on Cruachan. Birettas may be worn.

    (See number 79 of my 100 things if you’ve no idea what Stewart is alluding to).

    I am afraid the discussion with +David on his blog came to a sad end….have another look!

    Back to Glasgow last night – to the Episcopal Cathedral for the second time in a weekend. This time it was to go to the launch of a new collection of music from the Iona Community. Well, actually, it was a collection of quite old music from the Iona Community, but stuff that has not…
