    It is World AIDS Day next week. To mark that date this year, I’ve recorded a number of conversations with Marion Chatterley in connection with her work as Chaplain to people with HIV and Hep C in Scotland.

    Here are some of the things that Marion and I touched on this conversation:

    • Does it matter if you become HIV+ when they’ve got medicines that can keep it under control?
    • What stigma means in Scotland today
    • How young gay men are putting themselves at unnecessary risk
    • Dating apps
    • Why the church needs to talk about healthy relationships

    There will be more later in the week. Comments and questions welcome below.

    Thank you, Kelvin, for this excellent sermon. I was lucky to attend the service last Sunday and am now lucky to have the chance to watch and read the sermon again. Having to deliver my first sermon in English in Nuernberg in two weeks time (some people try parachuting, for me preaching in English is more than enough thrill…….. ) I can get such a lot of inspiration from my St.Mary’s experience……….

    Did I tell you about the Church History Social last Saturday evening? I don’t think I did. What’s that you say – you don’t understand what a Church History Social is. Well, let me tell you,  it was the most entertaining way to spend a Saturday evening and a roaring success. The late seventeenth and…

  • Thank you for the votes

    My thanks to everyone who voted for this blog in the ScotBlogs awards. Apparently, I came in the top 10 in the readers nominations. (Where in the top 10, I don’t know). However, the competition was constructed around readers votes and the votes of a panel. It seems a bit like the Episcopal election –…
