What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • The Kalendar for 2022 – 2023 is available free!

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

    In the past I’ve sold it for around £4. For a range of reasons, I’m not going to be selling it this year but am releasing it online so that anyone can download it and print it out for themselves.

    It is available right here: Kalendar 2023

    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.

     

     

One response to “What should ecumenical and interfaith dialogue actually be about?”

    I’m guessing that you have never read any of the Roman church’s official documents on ecuminism. The Roman concept of ecumenism is that it’s sole purpose and intended outcome is that everyone will accept the Bishop of Rome as the Vicar of Christ and return to the only true Church on the earth.

    Nothing less than that is exceptible. Which is why when a so called ecumenical partner church in dialog with the Roman church does something such as ordaining women to the priesthood and consecrating them as bishops or embracing same gender marriage, the Romans start lamenting how it’s a waste of their time to carry on with the dialog. Because as long as the other church does such things, they will never return to the fold.

    As for interfaith dialog, as long as you keep it to polite dinner conversation, your OK. But the conservative Christians come unglued if you invite them into your building or worse, plan any kind of an interfaith service. An example would be the comments when Father Bosco wrote on an interfaith concert that was to be mounted in the Dio Nelson NZ Cathedral;

    Or any similar topic that we have covered at the Lead on Episcopal Cafe.

  • Ariodante – Scottish Opera – review – ****

    This review appeared first at Opera Britannia Scottish Opera’s new production of Ariodante has a huge amount going for it. Performed by a solid cast, there’s a cracking trouser role, glittering sopranos and a pantomime baddie countertenor to boot. Only some dubious work in the pit and some slightly odd decisions from the director get…

  • Pilgrimage Days – Who on Earth Are You?

    I’m looking forward to hosting two Diocesan Pilgrimage Days at St Mary’s on 20 and 27 February 2016 exploring the theme “Who on earth are you?” It is difficult to think of a better week for exploring our identity as Episcopalians but it isn’t going to be all about the Columba Declaration. We’ll be focussing…

  • The Primus’s Radio Interview about the Columba Declaration

    It is incomprehensible to me that the Church of England establishment, including the Archbishop of Canterbury, can have claimed in the English Synod yesterday that the Scottish Episopal Church is “content” with the Columba Declaration and sees it as a positive move forward when the Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church is describing it as…

  • Sermon – preached on Valentine’s Day/Lent 1

    So. It is Valentine’s Day and the church bids us to go with Jesus into the desert. Well, that’s the story of my love life. But what are we to think today? How are we to deal with this story of Jesus being tempted in the desert? Jesus gets led in the desert, we are…
