• Joyful Songs of Praise

    Was delighted to be on Songs of Praise yesterday along with two members of the congregation who were talking about the blessing of their civil partnership last year which was part of their journey into marriage.

    I think I’ve had more feedback from this than any other piece of broadcasting I’ve ever done, overwhelmingly positive. A couple of grumpy people contacted me by email to express their concern but the rest, particularly from colleages and friends in England was hugely supportive.

    Take a look here:

    It was good. I  knew it was good.   Others knew it was good.  You knew it was good.  Therefore there was no need to comment.
    This does not mean that the good goes unnoticed.  I now know that you are good but it did not take a pictorial image to tell me so.

    Yes, Michael Hare-Duke really didn't like it. See – http://www.edinburghnews.com/index.cfm?id=1409042003 

    I think that his point that we should not be dressing Jesus up in a Santa outfit was rather impeded by his being pictured dressed as a pantomime bishop.
