I can’t manage online evening prayer this evening so instead I’m going to offer online Compline at 9.30 pm.
Usual details for access, just a different time.
Liturgy here: http://thurible.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/compline-ordinary-time1.pdf – starts on Page 22 for Saturday.

Just a small correction – Big Aggie came from Glasgow's Catholic Apostolic Church, not Edinburgh. But who has the Edinburgh one?
Re: Thurible Spotting
Thanks for the correction Ruth – I have no idea who has the Edinburgh one. Wouldn't it be wonderful to get them all together for a service? Is the Glasgow CA church building still extant? I don't even know where it was.

It is wonderful that the two thuribles from Glasgow and Dundee are different – no mass production in those days.

I rather like bonfire night, but the cat does not. Last night she spent part of the evening hiding under the dining room table refusing to come out until the banging noises stopped. I ended up under the table trying to convince her that life was worth hanging onto for a couple of days and…
One aspect of the Gene Robinson story really interested me. It was the news that people around his diocese had been contributing gold jewellery to be melted down to make a pectoral cross – ie the cross which most Western bishops wear near their heart. Some divorcees had contributed wedding rings and there were some…
It is quite extraordinary to be able to participate in the consecration of a bishop in the USA whilst sitting at home watching a screen. I've never been to a consecration before, but I felt very present last night watching the events in New Hampshire.A blessing on you, Gene Robinson from Bridge of Allan -…
