  • A Question about Marriage and the Bible – can you help

    I’ve been asked an interesting question by the Vice Provost, the Rev Cedric Blakey this week.

    The question is this – or at least something like this:

    If one were in conversation with a couple considering marriage, which married couples from the bible would you cite as good examples of marriage based on the biblical evidence.

    Let us make this easy and restrict things to couples in the bible who could be said to be married in the form that so many people want to tell me is the biblical model for marriage – ie one man and one woman, no sex outside marriage.

    I’d be interested to hear your suggestions. Which biblical couples affirm this model?

    Can't get in to the Church of Fools, can't seem to download this macromedia shockwave thingy – keeps saying “network error”.   Could it be to do with my firewall or something?  Most disappointing!   Guess I won't be at the service tonight then.     Any suggestions?

    The firewall thing should not be the problem, I don’t think. You certainly need the plubin before you can access the church, but even then, they have been getting so many hits from around the world that it is hard to get in sometimes.

    Here’s last week’s sermon – better get that posted before putting up this week’s. For some reason the congregation seemed immensely entertained by the idea of me preaching about humility. Curious.

  • Meetings, meetings, meetings

    Can someone tell me whether the church is unique in holding meetings in which the amount of time devoted to meeting vastly outweighs the amount of business that is done? I’ve a suspicion that the church is far from unique in this but also that others also must know better how to manage business than…

  • To Castle Douglas

    The Cathedral Chapter met yesterday in Castle Douglas. If this Provost is going to make a habit of such journeys, its likely that he will begin making a case for a diocesan grant for gaiters. Quick Friday Quiz Question – how many Anglican Cathedrals are nearer to Castle Douglas than St Mary’s is?
