What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • The Forum with Michael Bawtree

    We had a good Forum meeting after the 10.30 am service yesterday. This time I was interviewing Michael Bawtree.

    Michael is an international musicial and conductor based in Glasgow but frequently travelling the world.

    Some of the things we talked about were:

    • Can you tell a musician’s faith by the music they make?
    • What is Spirituality and is it the same as Religion?
    • Why commission new music?
    • What makes a musician?

    We also discovered Michael’s guilty secret – he revealed which composer he just doesn’t quite get.

    You can see it all in the video below.

    (Note that the sound is considerably improved from last week).

    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.

  • Sermon – 1 January 2006

    The imaginative hymn that we have just sung (Brian Wren’s Bring Many Names) is a salutary reminder that one name was never enough for our God. Whether we think of God’s doings in the Hebrew scriptures or in the Greek testament to Jesus Christ, we find that God is known by many, many names. A…

    I’m starting a new blog tonight. Just before Christmas I bought myself a new camera and the idea is to post photos regularly to ensure that I’m committed to using the camera. I used to be quite good at taking pictures, but went off it when I got my first digital camera. Somehow the resolution…

  • Thomas Becket

    It is worth noting that today is the feast day of Thomas Becket, the Archbishop murdered in Canterbury Cathedral on 29 December 1170.The thing to note is that the major part of what caused such a division between him and the king (Henry II) was over the question of whether the church or the state…
