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.

Sermon – 16 July 2006
Two dancers. Different stories. We are invited to consider this morning David dancing the ark of the covenant from one place to another. And Salome shimmying around Herod’s party and catching his eye with such disastrous consequences for John the Baptizer. Two dancers. Two very different stories.
