  • Silence is Golden

    Forum on Silence from St Mary's Cathedral, Glasgow on Vimeo.

    Somehow I managed to forget to publish this video on the blog but it is worth taking a look. It came from a forum conversation that I had with the Vice Provost, Cedric Blakey the other week.

    The point of this was to have a public chat about the way Cedric prays. One of the odd things about church is that individuals very rarely talk about their own personal spirituality and I was grateful to Cedric for being so open to having this discussion.

    We talk about this and also about:

    • whether God dictates answers to us
    • how breathing is integral to prayer
    • how to teach someone to pray
    • if you fall asleep whilst doing breathing exercises is that a sign of it working?
    • do single people need to spend time in silence?
    • how silence is golden.

    The video is a fairly short forum conversation – just 20 minutes.

    Well, I saw the maniple in Argyll, only yards from the sea, so I am sure that it was in the wild.

    It was being worn correctly on the left arm, but was not removed when the wearer preached a sermon. (The sermon was quite good, but the presence of the maniple was obviously a little distracting).

    If you are reading this then my websites are up again. My isp had a major failure which lasted most of the last day and ended up having to restore accounts from a backup taken on Tuesday night. Normal service is now resumed. (I’m aware that there are a couple of sermons needing to be…

  • Many thanks

    Many thanks to all those who gave me birthday wishes yesterday. The morning cake (with accompanying 5 minute loan of a cute puppy) cheered me up considerably when I found that water was pouring into church yesterday morning. The evening cake in the form of a biretta was magnificent and just the thing to share…

    Just a shameless plug for our goings on this weekend. On Saturday evening  there is a concert at St Mary’s featuring a choir from the Cathedral church of our companion diocese, Gothenburg in Sweden.  I keep being told how good they are so it promises to be a great concert. On Sunday, in addition to…
