What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Scottish Episcopal Kalendar 2024

    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: Kalendar 2024

    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.

    Alternatively, anyone who wishes to purchase a printed copy can do so here: Buy a Kalendar

    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.

  • Pagliacci – Scottish Opera ****

    Paisley Opera House (aka a tent on Seedhill Playing Fields in Paisley) Scottish Opera’s summer show in Paisley is a completely immersive bundle of fun that manages to be innovative and hugely entertaining. It isn’t difficult to see where the idea of putting this show on in a big tent comes from. Pagliacci (The Clowns)…

  • Sermon preached on 15 July 2018 (Pride Weekend)

    Is this the word of the Lord? Is this the gospel? “What should I ask for” said Herodias. “The head of the Baptist” said her mother. And it was so. And where is the good news in any of that? It is one of the worst, most barbaric and miserable stories in all of scripture.…

    It has just been announced that a man and a woman have won their fight to enable them to register a Civil Partnership. At first sight, it will seem only just and right to most people. If same-sex couples can enter either a marriage or a civil partnership then why shouldn’t an opposite-sex couple? Put…
