Whilst working from home, I’m going to be updating the Daily Prayer resources that I make available.
Here are the files you need for saying Daily Prayer at the moment.
Kalendar for March – June 2020
Returning to God – Morning Prayer
Returning to God – Evening Prayer
Some days are particular feast days and need a different book. Here’s Morning Prayer for Feast Days.
(Evening Prayer for Feasts still to come).
Reading this makes for light relief at work. Experiencing it, I suspect, might be like having one’s teeth pulled without anaesthesia.
I am snugly in my wee office meant to be writing a sermon and thought instead to catch up with the goings on accross the country. I discovered rightly that yours truly would keep me up to date in unique style, so, many thanks for the blogs.
You’ve done a fantastic job, K. I’ve particularly enjoyed your commentary! I can see you fulfilling the same role at Synod that Terry Wogan does at Eurovision. Well done and thank you!
I really do think that we need to find somewhere that offers a wireless connection for next year. It’s essential in this day and age that the rest of the church gets good communication on what’s happening at Synod, and not just the potted version that comes out in minutes or ‘Inspires’.
And you? A ‘fairy’? I’m shocked – I had no idea!
Just to totally echo Fr GadgetVicar’s praise Kelvin – a fantastic series of wee reports for those of us not fortunate (?) enough to be there this year. We definitely need more of this kind of thing.
Have you tried playing the “add the word to the end of the sentence” game yet? This is something which works very well in lectures.
Pass a piece of paper along the row, each person adds a word to the end of the sentence. It provides intermittent bouts of light relief in dificult situations without compromising your ability to pay attention for the majority of the time.

So, what is the difference between something passing unanimously or passing nem con?
The difference is whose in the chair.
If something is passed nem con, it means that there is no objection from anyone. (There may be abstentions). If it is passed unanimously, then it means that everyone present votes in favour.
In refrence to having ones teeth being pulled out, I fear I have to agree. I spend most of that week there soing the sound and AV stuff for synod and the OSCR seminar preceeding it. For a 16 year old it is not a exciting experiance. But I did find out one thing, there is something, there is something more boring then diosician synod.
Can you just suspend your cries of heresy whilst you read this one blog post? Because it will make you think, that’s why. What if Jesus chose the wrong brother on whom to found his church? What would the church look like if he had chosen Andrew instead of Peter? People rather like doing speculative…
Here’s the next of the videos that I recorded with Marion Chatterley of Waverley Care: marion chatterley #3.movie from Kelvin Holdsworth on Vimeo. In it we have quite a spirited conversation about HIV and the church. Marion explains to me why she thinks churches are making the HIV/AIDS situation worse in Scotland. Marion also gives…
The injunction “all may, none must, some should” is the classic prescription for how Anglicans deal with confession. However, it is worth thinking of it as a helpful way of thinking about church blogging too. The recent speech of the Archbishop of Canterbury in which he acknowledged the significance (and one suspects, in his mind,…
