What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Church and Civil Partnerships

    As I awoke in a bleary haze this morning, (today is a post-Ceilidh morning) I heard someone one the radio talking about how the Church of Scotland might be the first church to allow people in Civil Partnerships to serve as ordained clergy.

    It won’t of course. The Scottish Episcopal Church already has plenty of people in Civil Partnerships who serve as ordained clergy. Unlike in England, they don’t have to pretend that they are living lives of celibate friendship either.

    There’s going to be lots of news about LGBT relationships this week, with the bill coming to parliament in Westminster (does not affect Scotland) and the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland trying to get its knickers out of a twist about gay ministers in Edinburgh.

    Not all the news is going to be accurate either.

    Once again, items that relate to the cat are attracting the most comment.  Does Tilly have some mystical powers I wonder or is it just that the more serious issues are not as much fun.  Your blog(or is it Tilly's is getting addictive).  How sad is that then?“

  • Sermon – 20 February 2006

    It is inevitable that I am beginning to reflect on what my time here in St Saviour’s has been all about. Indeed, I am pondering what it is that that I have been trying to communicate as I have stood here in this pulpit in this beautiful church on Sunday mornings, for almost three years.…

They have a Ministry Reflections Course once a month or so.Tomorrow evening is called "Being a critical reflector".It has got me thinking about ethics again. Sometimes the internal differences that get exposed in the church…
