What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Tuesday Update

    Tuesday: Useful comment article by Colette Douglas Home in today’s Herald, on the Roman Catholic Church’s position on #equalmarriage: http://www.heraldscotland.com/comment/columnists/core-message-of-christianity-is-one-of-love-and-forbearance.18704767

    Includes good key quotes from Sunday’s sermon and this:

    [Kelvin Holdsworth] welcomed gay Christians to the service and discovered, not surprisingly, that his congregation had increased.

    A senior Catholic source reportedly accused him of “incendiary and uncharitable language” when he issued his invitation last Friday. Mr Holdsworth said: “I think people get weary of hearing a negative message from church people. What they want to hear is positive – about changing the world for the better, about justice, about love.” Amen to that.

    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.
