• 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:

    What kind of sermon is this supposed to be Kelvin? You never did like sticking to o­ne story, but this takes the biscuit. You told them more about what you were not going to say than about what you were going to say.
    Did you sing – O­nward Christian Soldiers too?

    It is supposed to be an apophatic sermon. Well, it turned out that way, whether or not it was intended to be. I'm no story teller. I preach to beguile, not to explain or narrate.
    We sang “Stand up, stand up for Jesus”, thank you very much.
