• 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:

    I am sure the music will be wonderful and give comfort and healing.

    In the Phillippine’s families will have spent the night camping out at their graveyards talking to the deceased. Not to be recommended in the chill of a Scottish November night.

    The service last night was very moving.
