  • New Year Predictions 2015

    Here are my New Year Predictions for 2015

     

    1. Those who voted YES in the Scottish Referendum will continue to behave as though they won. This may be unhelpful.
    2. Those who voted NO in the Scottish Referendum will continue to behave as thought he referendum never happened. This may be unhelpful.
    3. There will, I fear, be a Tory Prime Minister at the end of 2015.
    4. The Liberal Democrats will retain 10 – 14 seats in the House of Commons.
    5. Nick Clegg will lose his seat and be Lord Clegg by the end of the year.
    6. The Labour Party will not be led by a Milliband by the end of the year.
    7. The Church of Scotland will begin a new procedure under the barrier act to determine whether to accept ministers in same-sex partnerships who are married (ie not merely in Civil Partnerships).
    8. There will be legal victories for those seeking to extend Civil Partnerships to straight couples.
    9. Elizabeth Warren will become a household name.
    10. (Some) straight liberals will lead the charge (such as it is) for (something less than) LGBT equality, (sometimes). Believe it or not, I’m excited by this and it is an improvement. [Remember that in 2011 I predicted that “No straight liberal in the church will feel the need to sacrifice anything at all for the gay friends they purport to support.” Things are changing a bit].
    11. Advances in e-learning in churches.

    I think this is a great idea. I’d love to be there but can’t. Will you publish answers to some of these answers on the blog? That would be great.

      I think it is probably an evening which won’t translate to the web that well, but I may well base future blog posts on the questions. And I’m always open to suggestions of what to blog about.

    Um – kids understand it? which of us does? Really really understand the depth and mystery of it all, I mean? Not me, that is for sure. As one who regularly takes communion with littlies, I think they grasp something – and which of us can really say more.

    I’m sorry to have missed this though I think Owen’s still a bit young for it (i.e. it’s hard enough to keep him going through a short Eucharist, much less a slow one – plus, you know, bedtime and all that) but I hope you’ll do it again sometime!
