• 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

    Your move next, then.

    Can I suggest a bottle of spirit vinegar in one hand and a bottle of wine in the other? He should soon realize that the windows are not nearly as discerning as his neighbor.

    I reckon he’s been watching too much Kim & Aggie. You watch, he’ll be back for lemon juice next. Altho Lord knows what he’ll be wearing if that’s what he wears for cleaning windows.

    Fortunately, I’ve plenty of lemon juice to offer him if he comes back. Though if he had been watching Kim and Aggie, would he not have been attired in rubber gloves with feather trim? Did he remove them before coming upstairs? (If so, he should not have bothered).

    When I think about it, the fact that I live in the land of 24 hour vinegar emporia makes this little episode all the more strange.

    The presumption of commenters above is that this is the start of something. I had thought myself that this was a relationship that had been formed, blossomed and was completed within the space of the dialogue reported, but perhaps I am wrong.

    You know you’re in the West End of Glasgow when the residents clean their windows with wine vinegar…

    Thanks for the social commentary Roddy. Perhaps I should have offered him balsamic. I never thought at the time.

    There have been soap-operas and novels made out of less promising material than this.

    Well, the proposals have been published which will allow Anglican clergy to more easily defect to Rome. I’ve not heard of any Episcopal clergy in Scotland interested in taking up the offer. It is said that the Traditional Anglican Communion is joining up. But then I’ve never heard of them nor do I know anyone…

  • Hue and Cry

    Goodness, we don’t lack for drama at St Mary’s some weeks. This morning we had a bag stolen from the hall and a resultant hue and cry, with members of the faithful chasing the person believed to be responsible up the street. Following a hasty 999 call, the Polis turned up. I can’t say any…

  • Bible Study for Preachers

    Just back from Bearsden where I had been at a day on the Gospel of Luke which we start reading in church from Advent Sunday. It was a day for preachers from all around the diocese and very well spent. John Riches from St Mary’s was our facilitator for the day. Introduction to what is…
