Today has been designated as National Coming Out Day.
There’s been so much going on recently in the media and social media about gay bishops in the Church of England.
This seems to me to say it in a more elegant way than all the letters to the press, editorials, blog posts and twitter posts by the score.
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!
Just another day to be forgotten about, by the majority of straight people.

It is said that the Traditional Anglican Communion is joining up. But then I’ve never heard of them nor do I know anyone…
Goodness, we don’t lack for drama at St Mary’s some weeks. This morning we had a bag stolen from the hall and a resultant hue and cry, with members of the faithful chasing the person believed to be responsible up the street. Following a hasty 999 call, the Polis turned up. I can’t say any…
Just back from Bearsden where I had been at a day on the Gospel of Luke which we start reading in church from Advent Sunday. It was a day for preachers from all around the diocese and very well spent. John Riches from St Mary’s was our facilitator for the day. Introduction to what is…
Could you all go over and see Cliff Piper over at http://morayrosscaithness.blogspot.com/ He is obviously not getting enough attention as the Dean of Moray, Ross and Caithness so he has started a blog. He is taking his first steps in the Blogosphere and needs our encouragement and compassion. He says on twitter that its scary.…
