What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • The Knitting Collect

    At this time of year when we think of All Saints we get a collect that always makes me think of this picture of Herself knitting.

    KnittingMadonna

    Almighty God, you have knit together your elect in one communion and fellowship in the mystical body of your Son Christ our Lord: Give us grace so to follow your blessed saints in all virtuous and godly living, that we may come to those ineffable joys that you have prepared for those who truly love you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.

    I don’t know whether Almighty God likes knitting us all together but I can easily imagine Our Lady having a go.

    Even if the response is abuse, at least you know the sermon has been  heard or read and absorbed.  I would imagine that this is more fulfilling than preaching weekly with no idea whether anyone is even taking notice.

    Praise has also come with the abuse and it's interesting to note who are the abusers.  Get well soon and give us some more sermons to think about.

  • The Justice of Small Things

    To the City Chambers yesterday afternoon to stand alongside Professor Manuel Hassassian, the Palestinian ambassador, as he made a visit to the city. The Lord Provost received him and a small party in her rooms and gave us tea and biscuits and her attention. The Lord Provost is a class act, and I’ve enjoyed meeting…

  • Disestablishmentarianism

    Oh dear heaven, I should not have had that extra glass of fizz yesterday at the General Synod Office. [We keep Lent in a very particular way in the Scottish Episcopal Church]. I awake to face a world strangely changed today. According to Ruth Gledhill of the Times, George Carey has come out as a…

  • Radio Scotland Knitting Obsession

    What is it about Radio Scotland and knitting? For the second time in about eight weeks, I’ve turned my face against a proposal that I should knit, live on Radio Scotland. Why are they asking for this? Does knitting make good radio all of a sudden?
