• Joyful Songs of Praise

    Was delighted to be on Songs of Praise yesterday along with two members of the congregation who were talking about the blessing of their civil partnership last year which was part of their journey into marriage.

    I think I’ve had more feedback from this than any other piece of broadcasting I’ve ever done, overwhelmingly positive. A couple of grumpy people contacted me by email to express their concern but the rest, particularly from colleages and friends in England was hugely supportive.

    Take a look here:

    It is impossible to comment on these matters without appearing patronizing, ignorant or rude probably all three at once.
    I’m not a member of any Christian denomination, but if I was an Episcopalian and 38 Archbishops of my church unanimously signed a communique then I would be loath to disagree with it.

    I was at a conference in York last summer and participated in a workshop on sexual diversity. I was proud to be able to quote part of this statement to others in the group. I’m not sure if it was this summer I would feel as proud to be a member of the Scottish Episcopal Church.
