  • Scottish Episcopal Kalendar 2026

    For years now, I’ve produced a Kalendar for the Scottish Episcopal Church with all the bible readings set out for the year.

    This year’s Kalendar is available online so that anyone can download it and print it out for themselves.
    It is available right here: Scottish Kalendar 2026

    Anyone who would like to make a donation because they enjoy the Kalendar so much and want to encourage me to keep doing it is welcome to do so via paypal. I used to offer printed copies at £5 per copy.

    The summary of the Bishops’ Instruction on Fasting and Abstinence is available as a single pdf here: Bishops’ Instructions on Fasting

    Thank you, Father Kelvin, for your openness and honesty – helping us in the wider Church to embrace our sisters and brothers who are ‘DIFFERENT’

    Jesus, mercy; Mary, pray!

      I rather thought I’ve always been getting people to embrace because they are in fact the same.

    Thank you Kelvin for your thoughts over the 20 years. Interestingly we use the abbreviation LGBTI for even within our community there is still a lot of learning and affirmation, challenging our own internalised homophobia.
    Like you, I have experienced a lot of positive change. I continue to pray that our Church will affirm the dignity of the LGBTI person. Maybe in some way resemble the unconditional lover, God.

    Thank you Kelvin.God’s love seeps into out very being, and will open us all to His all encompassing love. I well remember telling my infant teacher that I was sitting on my friends lap com I loved him. I never it was against the law. 80 plus years on I rejoice in our civil partnership, and with all my LGBTI come to the Christ child to worship, and feel His encompassing love. God bless us all this Holy season.

  • Predictions for 2022

    Boris Johnson will be replaced with a Prime Minister who is more competent, more right wing and more difficult to beat. A good year for Michael Gove (who is almost invisible at the moment). Church of Scotland General Assembly votes to allow same-sex couples to be married in church. More significantly, almost no-one leaves in…

  • Predictions 2021 – How did I do?

    Time to see how I did with my predictions at the start of this year. Boris Johnson will achieve his longstanding ambition to become a former Prime Minister. Alas, Boris Johnson did not achieve this ambition this year. But we must award him 10/10 for trying. He’ll get there in the end. Prediction not accurate…

    One of the odd features of coronavirus time for me has been vivid dreams and disturbed sleep. I know that I’m not alone in this, I’ve heard others speak about it too. Particularly during the various lockdown experiences I’ve found myself suddenly sitting bolt upright at 3 in the morning trying to sort out my…
