• Carols at the Tron

    The Presbytery of Glasgow are having a Carol Service in St George’s Tron on Sunday afternoon.

    Details below

    Please support this if you are able. From the Presbytery Clerk of Glasgow.

    I am pleased to say that a Presbytery Carol Service will be held in St George’s Tron Church of Scotland, Buchanan Street on Sunday 23rd December at 3pm. The guest preacher will be Rt Rev Albert Bogle, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. I would appreciate it if you could publicise this service as widely as possible, by written and verbal intimation (suggested wording below),
    encouraging members of your congregation to come and share in this service.

    It would be good to show that the living church has not left the building as the former Tron tried to publicise but that the living gospel is alive and well all over Glasgow.

    Very Rev Bill Hewitt

    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.

  • Fresh bread

    Following my lamentation at Lammastide (1 August) that I did not have any fresh bread in the house, I have borrowed a breadmaker from someone who is in a household where the Atkins diet holds sway.Thus, I awoke this morning to the smell of fresh bread wafting through part of the house. This loaf, the…

  • Lochearnhead & Strathyre

    The pictures o­n the television of people being airlifted from their cars o­n the road north of Strathyre are dramatic. I came down that road earlier in the week in the most frightening thunderstorm. Stair-rods from heaven and thunder to shake the mountains.

  • Preaching

    I've no doubt that today's sermon felt like hard work to some people. It was hard work thinking about it. That particular piece from the gospel is very difficult to read in public and expect people to accept at face value. It is important that there is no pretence that everything is straightforward in a…
