  • Sermon preached on Trinity Sunday 2014

    The truth is, I’ve not preached on Trinity Sunday. I think I have preached on Trinity Sunday in my time at St Mary’s but certainly not many times and certainly not for a number of years.

    You see – I’ve been in charge of the preaching rota.

    But lo. Here I am having spent a couple of weeks off sick, now back to work. I’m grateful to colleagues for picking up various bits of work whilst I was indisposed.

    One of those bits of work that I had to ask someone else to pick up was devising the preaching rota….

    …and here I find myself – first Sunday back at work, preaching on the Holy Trinity.

    Am I fighting fit? Yes!

    Am I cowed by having to preach on the Trinity? Certainly not. (more…)

    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.

  • Consultation time again

    A couple of years ago, I asked the congregation a series of questions in a Consultation Document. It was a most fruitful exercise. Somehow the folk at St Mary’s like being asked questions and like getting the chance to respond. Maybe most congregations would be like that if they got the chance. Recently, a small…

  • We are Created By God – a Mothers' Union Discussion Booklet

    I’m grateful to Sheila Redwood of the Mothers’ Union for sending me this discussion booklet as a response to my earlier posts (here and here)) about the MU attitude to those who are gay. It is a nicely produced book. A shiny cover has friendly stones piled on one another. It is clear that a…

  • Horse Tidbits

    I’m regularly astonished at the commitment of my local supermarket – a branch of Lidl just off Maryhill Road. Today for example, I was offered pheasant, quail, goose, venison and horse tidbits. I toyed with the idea of the bath salts flavoured with honey and milk which sounded vaguely Biblical but in the end opted…
