What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • The Cure

    Over the past few weeks, I’ve not been terribly well. Bronchitis was the doctor’s diagnosis and it has gone on and on.

    The hospice in Ardire has five white candles – none of which have yet been lit – decorated not with greenery but purple and pink cloth.

    I've not many words today so all you are getting is a bit more of the interview I did with +Gene. This is the first bit, all about what it felt like to come to Scotland straight from the Lambeth Conference.

  • All people – All people that on earth do dwell

    Several people have asked me who it was who chose the music for last Sunday morning's service. The answer this time is that it was me. Usually, that is not my job though I do take my part in the creative process. Luckily, the my taste overlaps reasonably well with the Director of Music's taste.…

  • Eucharistic Prayer

    One of the really great things about the Scottish Episcopal Church is our collection of liturgies. There has been some suggestion recently that these should be gathered together in one prayer book and printed up together. People like the idea of a proper book. I’m not so keen myself. Printing all the wee bookies has…
