What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • What people are looking for

    The following search terms have all brought people to my blog in the last month:

    • Lucy Winkett married (I’ve no idea)
    • friendship as sacrament (if only the churches were this wise)
    • Old St Paul’s homosexuality (A number of searches on this one suggesting that people are not finding what they are looking for from their website)
    • health guidelines for thuribles (Keep it clean and use the ethanol to clean the inside. And do it outside)
    • humorous reading for mothers’ union (I’m saying nothing)
    • can you get a 4 berth sleeper on scotrail caledonian sleeper (I think you can – 2 adjacent apartments with an open internal door)
    • evensong gaidhlig (because Evensong is not esoteric enough)
    • believing that god has a plan for us all (Ah, probably best not coming to me for this one, I don’t)
    • can you have a christening during lent in anglican faith (oh yes – great preparation for Easter)
    • he has a unique plan for us (Oh no he doesn’t….)
    • Episcopal churches Edinburgh (I’m probably not the primary source on this one)

One response to “You’ll have had your apocalypse”

    I always think that the point about Jesus’ return is that we may well live to see it, but on the other hand, we might be killed in a road accident this afternoon. That is the urgency of following Jesus.

    I think that a Rapture is possible, but firstly very unlikely (the Biblical interpretation that leads to such a conclusion seems rather far-fetched), and secondly, escapist. It is already a blindingly obvious statement that in 2013, people are already under serious threat of arrest, torture and death for their faith in some parts of the world. There is no guarantee for any Christian in the comfortable West that they will not face such persecution or worse, whether Jesus returns in their lifetimes or not.

    I know that this is a bit geeky, but I do want to recognise the significance of the Firefox launch today.I'm using Firefox rather than Internet Explorer for almost all my web-browsing now and I recommend it wholeheartedly.

  • Back to Glasgow

    Back to Glasgow last night – to the Episcopal Cathedral for the second time in a weekend. This time it was to go to the launch of a new collection of music from the Iona Community. Well, actually, it was a collection of quite old music from the Iona Community, but stuff that has not…

    I've been tinkering with a couple of the entries in the Wikipedia, notably the o­ne about the Scottish Episcopal Church. This would be more fun if others joined in. What are you waiting for?
