What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Creative morning coming up

    The intention today is to spend a creative morning looking at upcoming issues of inspires, the magazine of the Scottish Episcopal Church.

    I’m trying to apply a broad theme to the magazines at the moment and so far as I can tell this seems to be appreciated by the readers.

    Upcoming themes are Journey/Pilgrimage/Place, The Communion (Anglican and Otherwise) and something on buildings/sacred space. I’ve a notion that we’ve not really done much on liturgy and I’m going to be discussing some ideas with a couple of other people today.

    I rather like doing this work but being the Editor of a magazine and running a cathedral are not always terrible compatible occupations. Deadlines and the liturgical year don’t always play nicely together.

    I’m always so grateful to the writers of the articles. Some people have the gift of generous writing – fast, accurate and interesting.

    They are a delight.

    I’ve asked before in the magazine itself whether people want to suggest themes for issues and two of the themes listed above come from people’s suggestions.

    Anyone want to make a suggestion here? Feel free in the comments below.

    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!
