What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • 10 Things to Remember about Corpus Christi

    corpuschristi - new

    1. It is on Thursday 19 June 2014 this year.
    2. It is always on a Thursday.
    3. It is one of the most extravagent and lovely religious festivals that human beings have devised.
    4. Thomas Aquinas is said to have invented it to bring the focus back to Jesus Christ in churches which were rather keen on his mother.
    5. It is about gazing in wonder – and we don’t do that nearly enough.
    6. Our Lord himself comes and wanders amongst his people – just like in real life!
    7. Abraham (as Bishop Kevin was always wont to say) would have understood this feast
    8. We scatter flower petals hither and yon to make a suitable pathway for God to come amongst us
    9. It smells. Lovely.
    10. The service takes place at 7.30 pm in St Mary’s on Thursday evening – please bring flower petals to the sacristy by 7 pm if you can

    Judging by what I see around the SEC, I think there’s a lot to commend a lonely hearts column.  Of course, being the SEC it would have to be inclusive and allow for same sex friendships too.  I say it go for it Kelvin!

  • Apple Tree

    Last night’s Choral Evensong began with one of my favourites; a piece which gets sung quite a lot at this time of year and which is high on the list of Music Which Makes Me Cry. It was Elizabeth Poston’s carol Jesus Christ the Apple Tree. It is the weirdest thing. Most of the time…

  • I seem to have been spared

    It would appear that I am spared. The virus that laid me low last week has not beaten me. There seems to have been a lot of people who have been sick with various bugs over the last few weeks. It is good to be feeling better. I’ve been picking up work fairly gently over…

    My grateful thanks to Colin for alerting us to this important piece of musical theatre.

  • Broadcasting Central

    It was quite a busy weekend at St Mary’s last week. It was also a busy weekend on the wireless. My colleague the Rev Shona Lillie has provided a couple of services for Radio Scotland for their New Every Morning Strand. You generally need to be up pretty early to hear these broadcasts. Though if…
