I have just issued the following statement:
“I am delighted to hear that the Anglican Church in Brazil has just changed its marriage canon to allow same-sex couples to get married. As we have rejoiced in St Mary’s Cathedral Glasgow in recent months with couples who have waited years to be married in church, so we rejoice with couples doing the same thing in Brazil.
“All God’s children are equally beloved. We rejoice as greater equality comes to another part of the Anglican Communion”
Re: Arrrgh
You are not safe to be let out by yourself. You can't even blame it on a bus this time. Slow down Kelvin, we all still need you, don't you know! Guess you must be feeling pretty sore today. Take it easy! Get the cat to look after YOU for a change!!!
Re: Arrrgh
Perhaps you should go to the nurse again to have your blood pressure checked – just in case you’ve sprained your ankle again!!
Re: Arrrgh
I think its about time you invested in a pair of Doc Marten's. I have found they are the only footwear which allow me to get down a very steep hill on a frosty morning without flashing my underwear unwittingly to passing spectators. And you can get them in purple velvet for Lenten wear!
Re: Arrrgh
The funny thing is, that on both the occasions when I have fallen, I have been wearing Doc Martins. In fact, I was even starting to wonder whether it was the fault of the shoes.
The purple velvet for Lent idea would appeal more if we wore purple at St Saviour’s for Lent. I suspect that trying to find Doc Martins made out of unbleached linen might be difficult.
I was intrigued by the statement made to the Equal Opportunities Committee of the Scottish Parliament of someone representing the Church of Scotland. They seemed to suggest that if they don’t get their way in stopping same-sex marriage then they might stop conducting marriages altogether.

Here’s an interesting interview with Richard Holloway. Talks about institutional unity vs justice, the prophetic tradition and never losing Jesus. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YYoxqd8Xwc
