What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Predictions for 2020

    1. Scotland will not vote for Independence in 2020
    2. No progress for those hoping for Equal Marriage in the Church of England.
    3. Narrow Democrat victory in American election – country as divided as ever – widespread belief that the election was rigged.
    4. Scottish government proposals on reforming the Gender Recognition Act go through largely as proposed in consultation document.
    5. Limited agreements at COP talks but derided as too little too late.
    6. UK leaves the EU and is subsequently unable to agree a substantial deal.
    7. No trade deal with the USA
    8. Yvette Cooper will become the leader of the Labour Party.
    9. Stock market lower at the end of the year than it is today.  (FTSE 7,542.44)
    10. Increasing visible support for LGBT Roman Catholics from within the Roman Catholic Church.

    Cheers Kelvin,
    it was great fun – even if we didn’t do the great cup cake bake-off or the manual wheelchair race up Gilmorehill to the Uni Library that I suggested :-). As so many students have expressed disappointment at no further action on the issues we raised, I’m considering standing for Education VP in the SRC elections.
    Meanwhile, for I’m looking forward to the inclusive Christian spirituality retreat we’re running in March (10th-12th) on the lovely Isle of Cumbrae for gay and bisexual men: http://retreat.maniple.co.uk/ (some places still available).

    There will be a Rector – Mr Snowden is the Rector. He just won’t turn up to do anything.

    It might turn out to be for the best for your future – Gordon Brown was a working rector and look how it turned out for him! Well done on being an honourable second.

  • Slow Eucharist – Teaching Mass – Lord’s Supper with FAQ

    I’m doing something a bit different on Monday. It happens to be the Feast of St Bartholomew and normally we would have a celebratory Eucharist in the morning instead of morning prayer. Now, I’m the master of having all the works in less than half an hour.  Clouds of smoke, a simple sung plainsong setting…

  • On turning down Big Brother

    This morning could have been so very different. I could have been waking in a room of sleeping pseudo-clebs and instead of writing a blog post I could have been called to the diary room. The funniest telephone call I’ve taken in the last year was from an agent looking for candidates for the Big…
