• Come out and carry on

    Today has been designated as National Coming Out Day.

    There’s been so much going on recently in the media and social media about gay bishops in the Church of England.

    This seems to me to say it in a more elegant way than all the letters to the press, editorials, blog posts and twitter posts by the score.

    come out and carry on

    I think you are underestmating Trump, he’s not going anywhere, and the Le Pen prediction seems very bold of you considering recent history…

    Thanks for writing your blog, happy New Year!

    #8 happened in the US about a year ago. The DC Madame’s little black book. I posted about it at Episcopal Cafe that meny clergymen were listed and I was lambasted for posting. That if their rector was on the list that wasn’t anyone’s concern but he and his wife.

    That’s either head in the sand or way too liberal for me.

    I’m not into facial hair either. Clean cuut & clean shaven is what I like.

    I think you’re right about Trump and, in fact, i think he will be gone within the first year (the Republicans will figure out they can’t control him and will find a reason to impeach, or he’ll resign in a fit of pique). Don’t bet on beards leaving; mine’s certainly not going anywhere (I hate shaving!)

  • Swedish Consecration

    I note the report on Sweden’s Local news-site that bishops from England and Ireland are boycotting the consecration of the next Bishop of Stockholm. (Tip of the biretta to Fr Madpriest). Does anyone know which Scottish bishop is going? We are usually quite good at turning up to things in Sweden.

  • Relics

    I nearly preached about relics for our All Saints Festival on Sunday. No, I’m not talking about the congregation, who are far from being relics, I am talking about, you know, holy relics. (Not that the congregation are not holy, either). It was that tour of the relics of Thérèse of Lisieux that made me…

  • Theological students

    We had some theological students in church yesterday who had come as a group to observe our goings on. This is something that I got involved in last year too. They go around several churches and then invite the preacher into their class which takes place later in the week to discuss what happened. I…
