What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Christmas Services

    Today, Christmas Eve, at 4 pm there’s a Christmas Crib Service for all ages – see the photograph below for a picture of last year’s crib service.
    Then at 6.30 pm there’s the Cathedral Carol Service featuring the full Cathedral Choir of trebles and adults.
    At 11.15 pm, midnight mass begins which will feature the Cathedral Choir singing Charpentier’s Messe de Minuit with small orchestra.
    On Christmas Day there will be a glorious Sung Eucharist at 10.30 am.

    I will be preaching the incarnation at both Midnight Mass and on Christmas Day.

    I wondered how you were fairing in the city that’s reported to have voted Yes.

    Just to let you know, you can best guage what it means in your neck o’ the woods, but that form of salute is still used in a number of countries in the world and isn’t associated in any respect with Nazism. That salute is common in Mexico, as it was in the US before WW2.

    However, they have since opted for the right hand flat over the heart and we get flack from our northern neighbors for our “Nazi” salute to our flag.

      The gesture they were making here is entirely associated in local minds with the nazis.

    I gather that there were EDL/SDL members present, in addition to the usual Lodge suspects. This may go some way to explaining the Nazi salutes.
