    Re: Sermon on 10 August 2003
    Hi Kelvin – like the blog. Are you going to be posting all your sermons to the blog or just selected o­nes? Lots of people post them in advance – there are a couple of sites that i read every week before writing my sermon, but I have not heard of anyone else posting them for comments after they have been preached. I'm surprised that members of your congregation have not taken the chance to comment o­n this o­ne of yours – it is worthy of comment! Did anyone object to it?

    Simon – thanks for the comment – the first o­ne o­ne to be made. You should try this blogging yourself, you would like it. You always used to keep a journal, I seem to remember. I think that I will probably be posting most sermons. There are just a few occasions in the year when I do something else rather than preach in a straightforward way (eg singing and then commenting o­n the song).  It will be interesting to see whether people do take advantage of the chance to comment. No-one objected to it o­n Sunday, and quite a few made encouraging comments. It feels good to be in a church where I can preach that kind of sermon. I could not do so everywhere, as you yourself know well!

    It is just about a year since I came here to meet the vestry for us to discern together whether I should offered the call to be the Provost here. A day had been arranged for a number of candidates to meet the vestry, to chat to the other clergy, to meet the office staff…

  • Brown Shoes

    I received the holy mysteries yesterday from someone who celebrated wearing brown shoes. The shoes in question were beautifully polished and the feet that they were on were of the most reverend quality, (the Most!) but it still bothers me 24 hours later. Time we rewrote the canon on clergy dress, I think. Tell me…

    For those reading from overseas, the reality show Celebrity Big Brother is causing a huge amount of comment in the UK (and in India) at the moment. The cameras are on the contestants every minute of every day and the producers manipulate the footage to make the nation watch and talk about it. They have…
