What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Scottish Episcopal Kalendar 2026

    For years now, I’ve produced a Kalendar for the Scottish Episcopal Church with all the bible readings set out for the year.

    This year’s Kalendar is available online so that anyone can download it and print it out for themselves.
    It is available right here: Scottish Kalendar 2026

    Anyone who would like to make a donation because they enjoy the Kalendar so much and want to encourage me to keep doing it is welcome to do so via paypal. I used to offer printed copies at £5 per copy.

    The summary of the Bishops’ Instruction on Fasting and Abstinence is available as a single pdf here: Bishops’ Instructions on Fasting

    You are indeed right.
    Although it could be argued that a permanent artifical arrangement might be a canon 35 matter.

    Canon 35 for artificial flowers? Clever.

    One might also argue that they fit under canon 22 — on Worship.

    Or even Canon 28 — on pastoral breakdown??

    Oh dear – surely the Canon which says the Priest-in-Charge has absolute authority (to which I can not remember the number) in his church is the one that applies.

    No, church flower arrangers are a law unto themselves.
