What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Statement on the Christchurch Terror Attacks Against Muslims

    Glasgow in Scotland and Christchurch in New Zealand are linked by the fact that each contains a cathedral built to an identical design.

    Christ Church Cathedral and St Mary’s Cathedral, Glasgow were built to identical plans.

    Christian hearts and Muslim hearts are made to the same design as one another. Today we weep for all those who are victims of terror and intimidation.

    Sadly, we are joined together in being broken-hearted at the news of the callous attacks against Muslim communities in Christ Church.

    Christians follow teachings which encourage them to welcome strangers. There is no anti-immigrant rhetoric that can be called Christian.

    Any attack on people at worship diminishes us all.
    Any attack on people at worship is an attack on civilization.
    Any attack on people because they are of the Muslim faith is utterly wrong.

    My love and prayers go to the Muslim communities directly affected by this tragedy and to our own Muslim friends in Glasgow.

    There is only one God and the God whom we all worship has compassion on all who mourn.

    Are you sure it is just your ankle you have sprained?  Did you not bump your head at the same time?
    Anyway-what's wrong with songs of praise-even if Thora what's her name is dead now?

    Re: Atkins
    I did not actually say that there was anything wrong with Songs of Praise. I am currently reading the “Songs of Praise Lent and Easter” book for review in the Episcopalian. 

    It seems to be that with a weekly television experience, a new weekly magazine and now books about the liturgical year, Songs of Praise is o­n its way to being a denomination. It is o­nly a matter of time before people going into hospital start to answer “Songs of Praise” when asked their religion.

  • Easter Sermon 2014

    What a joy to be in this place today celebrating the resurrection. We began on a high last Sunday and have made our way though this Holy Week. People sometimes call that a journey, a waymarked path, a pilgrimage. But for me, that doesn’t begin to describe it. For me it is more like being…

  • RIP Jim Cotter

    In the middle of the busy days of Holy Week comes the news that Jim Cotter has died. Jim was a poet-priest – someone for whom words were as important as breathing. He wrote prayers in which unicorns danced. He was also I think the first out gay priest I ever met, coming to preach in…

  • Holy Week starts with joy

    Many thanks to all those who made Palm Sunday so special at St Mary’s. (I’ve been ill for a fortnight, so it wasn’t down to me!) Thanks to Stewart Macfarlane for capturing this pic. A reminder that Holy Week starts with joy.

  • Palm Sunday Procession 2014

    Here’s a wee video of the Palm Sunday Procession at St Mary’s this year. I promised people something extra this year. For some reason, people thought I had booked a donkey. Well, anyone can book a donkey. Here’s what happened. Many thanks to the guys from the wonderful Clanadonia for making this year’s procession so…
