• Scottish Episcopalians at Pride Glasgow

    There’s going to be a group of Scottish Episcopalians walking (marching? processing?) together at Pride Glasgow on Saturday.

    This is being organised by one or two people from St Mary’s but anyone is welcome to join in. You don’t have to be gay, Scottish or Episcopalian either.

    All you have to do is want to be there.

    Here’s the invitation as it appears on facebook….

    The parade goes from Kelvin Way and ends up at George Square. We plan to meet on the steps to the Dumbarton Road entrance of the Kelvingrove Museum at 10.45am. All are welcome to come — LGBT folk, friends, family, allies, friends from other denominations, congregation, faith group etc. Anyone who would like to join in the procession in the company of a church group.

    If you want to join in, let either Beth or myself know you are coming and indicate interest via the Facebook Event if you are on FB.

    Dress code – colourful. Clergy – please wear a clerical collar if you can.

    Those who have reached mid…. er, mid-life, may wish to bring ear-plugs. It can get wonderfully noisy.

  • Sermon – Holy Innocents

    The gospel reading this morning is one of those parts of the Christmas story which can take us by surprise. Indeed, it can be very tempting to miss it out. I had planned to use the Gospel readings for the first Sunday after Christmas instead, because I felt not a little squeamish about reading the…

  • Working Time

    I think that I might, just about, have recovered from Christmas. Having three services each 12 hours apart over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day is hard work. The European Working Time Directive would suggest that o­ne should not be encouraged (or allowed) to do this. It is o­nly a matter of time before the churches…

  • Christmas Day – Light that can never be extinguished

    There is one image that comes back over and over again at Christmastime ? the image of Christ as the Light. When Jesus comes at Christmas it is as though a blindfold is being lifted or a light-switch flicked on. Suddenly, things become comprehensible which once made no sense. Suddenly, there is the possibility for…

  • Listen to the Angel

    The angel said to them: ?Do not be afraid; for see, I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people.: to you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is the Messiah, the Lord.? Let us listen to the angel this night.
