• Marriage Equality for Anglicans in Brazil

    I have just issued the following statement:

    “I am delighted to hear that the Anglican Church in Brazil has just changed its marriage canon to allow same-sex couples to get married. As we have rejoiced in St Mary’s Cathedral Glasgow in recent months with couples who have waited years to be married in church, so we rejoice with couples doing the same thing in Brazil.

    “All God’s children are equally beloved. We rejoice as greater equality comes to another part of the Anglican Communion”

    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.

    We’ve been clearing some old documents out of the dank crypt this week and one or two interesting things have emerged. Not least a couple of photographs from 1962. We forget now that we photograph anything and everything all the time that in previous decades a photo was relatively rare. This one was taken at…
