    Hey! Let me know you
    You’re all that matters to me
    Hey! Let me show you
    You’re all that matters to me

    You’re all that matters to me (Oh come on)
    Hey! So come on yeah
    See the light on your face
    Let it shine, just let it shine
    Shine all your light over me
    Shine!

    Just to say the link to the BBC website is broken.

    The Sunday morning service on R4 is my regular church for now and it was brilliant to find it was with you yesterday.

    Loved the service and the music, as always, was wonderful.

    Lovely to know that Bernard Porter is still about. One of the kindliest and most tolerant musicians this ex-tv producer ever worked with. He provided superb accompaniment to at least 4 major choral programmes, and an exuberant and beautifully played Voluntary in Holy Trinity, Ayr- in 1973. I can still hear it in my head.
    Thanks, Kelvin for a happy reminder.

    Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed listening to the service on BBC 4 on Sunday – meaty stuff with good quality music. Was pleasant listening when normally just want to reach for the ‘off’ button. But then I’m biased going to a SEC church myself with social justice and ecumenical concern at its centre and being a choral singer!

    What a wonderful tribute to a real gentleman. Sang under him over 30 years ago at Diocesan Festivals. Minimum criticism and maximum praise seemed to be his maxim…. something we could all use as a way of life.

    Interesting review of Sunday morning here:

    from the increasingly fantasy driven adviser on Jewish theology to the Archbishop of Canterbury!

    So sorry I missed “BJ’s” do! I remember traipsing round Scotland with him and the choir, singing in all seven main cathedrals in 18 hours! Boy did we have stamina then!

    Hi, Tom! Glad to see that you haven’t changed. The fantasy is, as ever, all in your head! Although I’d be very pleased to take on this auspicious role at Lambeth Palace, as far as I know they have no plans to take on such a person as you suggest – for the present at least. All a figment of the imagination, then!!

    I’m also terribly sad to have to inform you that I’ve just been invited to talk on the subject of my blog (to which you’ve kindly directed bloggers) at one of Britain’s most distinguished universities in the next few days (alas, not in Scotland, although I have lectured before now at Edinburgh).

  • Look not upon the weeds

    Mark’s pictures of his plants (and the blessing counting that he is applying to life) reminds me of today’s piece of wisdom, which is:Look not upon the weeds growing in profusion by the office door, look upon the pink poppies growing between them.I’ll post a pic, if I remember to take my camera to work. 

  • Dunoon the watter

    Over to the diocese of Argyll and the Isles for the second time in a week. This time to Dunoon for the installation of Kimberly Bohan as the priest for three congregations – Dunoon, Tighnabruich and Rothesay. A more glorious day could not have been chosen for the service and the trips across the Clyde,…

  • World Record Evensong

    Turnout last night at Evensong was thought to be a world record around here for modern times. There were 119 people present, though 5 did leave when they discovered there was no sermon. My hunch is that they were looking for St Silas Church and were perplexed by the exquisite offering of music by Purcell,…

  • The Convent #2

    Watched The Convent again tonight on BBC2. Liked the nun dancing the incense around the chapel during a Magnificat. (Which was to the tune of the Wild Mountain Thyme if my ears did not deceive me).I’m impressed with the nuns from Arundel – they are a good advert for what they do, but then most…
