I was in conversation with Prof John Curtice about the General Election after the Sung Eucharist this morning.
We touched on what might happen at the election, how a UK government is actually formed, will proportional representation ever happen, will the SNP propose another referendum next year and what it is like being John Curtice in the middle of all this.
The conversation was recorded and is available here:

Couldn’t you find a nice mitre to replace the crown? 😉
Oh, I didn’t make it.
And in any case, with the C of E, it is all about the Crown.
Can we share it even over here in the US?
Yes! With an explanatory, ‘The Kingdom of God Needs You (To Come Out)!’ I’m celebrating today by putting my publications on my website, thus nailing my rainbow colours to the mast. Once I’ve had my tea. Living in Glasgow, I won’t have had it.
Sounds like a movie of the 1960’s starring the wonderful (and yet sad) Kenneth Williams!

I was surprised that the day wasn’t known to him, he’s not that old.. Anyway way I could experiment and see what happens.
What a lovely thought, that there are different angels dedicated to the celebration of Advent and to the care of people in various states of sickness and health! A felicitous typo.
Now, just in case there is anyone reading this who comes to St Mary’s who hasn’t been around in previous years at Christmas – there’s a job to be done tomorrow that you might not know about and your help would be most appreciated. As a liturgical church we are vigilant about keeping Advent, a time of…
The Advent antiphons begin at this time. They are mystical phrases that are inserted into the liturgy of evening prayer before and after the Magnificat in the days leading up to Christmas. They each have their own plainsong – ethereal music that comes to us from somewhere deep inside the mystery of advent. In St…
Forgive me posting a video two days running. (I’m still quite snuffly, though am hoping to be capable of thought soon). This video is too good not to repost though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZrf0PbAGSk Thinking of a way of conveying the message that is just too good not to pass on. That’s the central challenge of Christian mission,…
I suspect that we don’t have enough acrobats in church these days. Take a look at this video from the Vatican showing us the way forward. I think that you’ll find that there is something for everyone in this video.
