  • The rules

    Here’s how we are going to get along.

    1. Black shoes in the sanctuary
    2. Play nicely
    3. Don’t copy the provost/pope/prime minister into emails that are addressed to anyone else
    4. No boring worship
    5. Obey the moratorium on unnecessary exclamation marks!
    6. No communion for dogs, not even on St Francis’s Day
    7. Communion for all humans any day
    8. Black ink. Only black ink.
    9. No rotas on noticeboards
    10. Clerical honorifics take the definite article

    I can think of another priest on whom satin high heels look magnificent. But his identity shall remain a secret for now!

    Perhaps not the best week for a comment like that Lay Clerk, although I think I know who you mean, and a couple of others too!

    I was in the next door parish, St Matthew’s Possilpark when St James was being built. As I remember it, there was quite a bit of pressure from The Diocese to be fairly traditional. Remember, many didn’t want to lose their Springburn roots, or traditions. Pressure too to put in stained glass from St Andrew’s by the Green. I remember at the time thinking that I would kill for a building like it, Bernie Inn or not! My wee church had just been condemned by the same Diocesan Architect/Surveyor, who was also advising on Bishopbriggs. St Matthews is still going strong btw!

  • Its about Human Rights, Rowan

    I’ve refrained from commenting much on the Lambeth Conference as there has not been anything official to react to and media reports do not give a good flavour of what is essentially a closed event. However, now we have a published address from Rowan Williams. At first sight, it seems reasonable enough. Indeed, he is…

  • Sermon – 27 July 2008 Leah's Lovely Eyes

    [The audio of this sermon can be heard on this page – the text is Genesis 29:15-28]. I have to confess, that I’ve quite enjoyed preaching on the readings that we have been getting in the book of Genesis. All human life, it seems is there. I preached a couple of weeks ago about how…
