    It isn’t just Scotland where there are people getting excited about the possibility of marriage law being changed to be more equitable you know.

    Here’s a video of the Dean of St Alban’s speaking out for the cause down in Englandshire.

    Rather well, he does it too, I think.

    After the death of George Harrison I was at a Sunday Eucharist where the Rector played a tape of My Sweet Lord and based his sermon on it. Don’t think it was really appreciated but I didn’t hear any complaints either.

Bishop Michael will have completed more than 10 years as…
