What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Sermon preached on Trinity Sunday 2014

    The truth is, I’ve not preached on Trinity Sunday. I think I have preached on Trinity Sunday in my time at St Mary’s but certainly not many times and certainly not for a number of years.

    You see – I’ve been in charge of the preaching rota.

    But lo. Here I am having spent a couple of weeks off sick, now back to work. I’m grateful to colleagues for picking up various bits of work whilst I was indisposed.

    One of those bits of work that I had to ask someone else to pick up was devising the preaching rota….

    …and here I find myself – first Sunday back at work, preaching on the Holy Trinity.

    Am I fighting fit? Yes!

    Am I cowed by having to preach on the Trinity? Certainly not. (more…)

  • We are Created By God – a Mothers' Union Discussion Booklet

    I’m grateful to Sheila Redwood of the Mothers’ Union for sending me this discussion booklet as a response to my earlier posts (here and here)) about the MU attitude to those who are gay. It is a nicely produced book. A shiny cover has friendly stones piled on one another. It is clear that a…

  • Horse Tidbits

    I’m regularly astonished at the commitment of my local supermarket – a branch of Lidl just off Maryhill Road. Today for example, I was offered pheasant, quail, goose, venison and horse tidbits. I toyed with the idea of the bath salts flavoured with honey and milk which sounded vaguely Biblical but in the end opted…
