What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • This is a church for everybody

    Yesterday I reposted the It’s Time video from the equality network which features a 1 second cameo of me waving a sign. They filmed that over a year ago and as they collected those sign-waving people – religious leaders, celebs, couples, politicians etc they also asked them in front of the camera why they were involved in the campaign.

    They were aiming for just a couple of minutes so I had to think carefully about what to say.

    Here are the main points

    • This isn’t a gay church its a church for everybody and that’s why people like coming here.
    • Churches have an ethical responsiblity to promote equality.
    • What needs to be heard is the message of respect and love and inclusion and I know hundreds of Christians who are putting that message out.
    • Church is a place where the message is that you are utterly loved.
    • Churches are changing these days and thank God they are.

    Take a look:

    I’ll  be posting just one more video from the campaign tomorrow, just ahead of the vote in parliament. If you want to join in and let Members of the Scottish Parliament know you want change, it just takes 2 minutes (the same length of time as this video) and you can find out how to do that here:

    Experience here is
    a) TWiki is amazingly awful to migrate between versions, requiring a fair bit of Perl knowledge
    b) Dokuwiki might be only written in PHP, but it’s an absolute joy to use, especially the plugin system (paste URL to zip-file into box, it downloads and unpacks it for you!)

    One of these I use for work, the other is rapidly becoming my general to-do-list / organization / life at home. Major plug for dokuwiki 🙂

    Docuwiki
    I’ll have a look at Docuwiki though I do have a working version of TWiki currently running at the moment. I know no Perl, and it was a bit of a challenge installing it in the first place.

    Docuwiki

    Well, I’ve looked at Docuwiki but can’t install it.

    Life is just too short for this:

    • Set up the correct permissions
      • Usually the webserver runs as a unprivileged user eg nobody, www-data or apache
      • The webserver needs to be able to write to some files and directories (so change the chown nobody to match your configuration e.g. chown apache …)
      • If you’re using access control, you need to change the group ownership permissions on the appropriate files and make them writeable by the web server user’s group (use group ownership, because as a user/web site admin, you’ll need to edit the files directly) – otherwise, users won’t be able to register, and you won’t be able to set ACL controls via the web interface, and you’ll get error messages; I always forget these steps when I do an install using ACL features, so that’s why I’m adding them here.
      • The group name the web server runs as is usually identical to the user name, except in the case of the “nobody/nogroup” combo – but check your server config just in case (just a user, TL)

  • Still in the C of S corner

    Can’t remember whether I gave a link to the C of S report that will be discussed at the Assembly next week. Anyway, here it is, and well worth reading.

  • Radio Scotland

    “Good morning and welcome to St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral in Great Western Road in Glasgow.” So began yesterday’s early service on Radio Scotland. I recorded it ages ago and this was a rerun. Indeed, I didn’t know that it had been on again until folk told me as they came into church. The service yesterday…

  • Meanwhile…

    Meanwhile, whilst the debate is going on about Collaborative Ministry vs ministry that is collaborative on the post below, Chris Blethers seems to be shaking her head in weary sadness, noting the difference between her education bloggers and church bloggers. She characterises the latter as ‘self-aware, sometimes outrageous, often critical, and the comments snippy, defensive,…
