What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Predictions for 2024

    1. General Election in UK – Labour landslide. PM – Sir Keir Starmer. (No great change in policies from the Tory government that Labour will replace).
    2. US politics will continue to be dominated by Donald Trump
    3. In the US Presidential election in November there will be victory for the Republican Party.
    4. AI/Deepfakes have a significant effect in electoral politics.
    5. Conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine unresolved by end of 2024.
    6. No progress for those wanting marriage equality in the Church of England.
    7. Twitter goes bust or is sold or both.
    8. The world will be warmer in 2024 than ever before.
    9. Another country will join Nato.
    10. A new agreement is reached between the UK and Greece on the Elgin/Parthenon Marbles that opens the door for at least some of them to be displayed in Athens.

    Yes – full marks – the BCP in Esperanto.

    Something for a Sunday evening, I think.

    RSS feed
    I do have an rss feed, though the architecture of this site is a little creaky and you might have to resort to forgiving it sometimes.

    The feed is at http://www.thurible.net/backend.php though it is likely to move sometime when I move this site over to WordPress, something that I have been intending to do for a while.

  • Easter Sermon

    A number of years ago, I was put in charge of the Information and Communications Board of the Scottish Episcopal Church. This meant that I was in charge of trying to formulate the church’s internal news and helping to work out our message to the outside world. I think it was fair to say that…

  • Good Friday Preaching – The Servant Girl

      The truth is, I only really noticed her on Sunday. I’ve never payed her the blindest bit of attention before. I guess no-one ever did. The servant girl who answered Peter back. She’s a woman in John’s gospel but a servant girl in the version that Matthew and Cedric were watching on Sunday. There’s…

  • Why Billy Graham’s legacy is complex

    News appeared this afternoon that Billy Graham had died at the age of 99. The significance of this moment is clear – he was someone who lived an extraordinary long life, met the great and the good of all the world, changed the lives of countless thousands who were not the great and the good…
