What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Healthy Relationships

    Here’s the second video with Marion Chatterley from Waverley Care – take a look:

    marion chatterley #2 – healthy relationships.movie from Kelvin Holdsworth on Vimeo.

    In this one we focus on what healthy and unhealthy relationships look like.

    We talk about why hidden relationships are common in church communities and how that puts people at risk.

    Then we go on to talk about how healthy relationships are messy but that they are celebrating both people as holistic beings. That includes allowing people to be sexual and spiritual beings.

    Along the way, we spoke about whether or not there is just one true love out there for a person. Again we pick up on dating apps and talk about what people are really looking for when using them. Why do church leaders have so much to say about marriage and so little to say about dating apps?

    We relate this to the big changes we made to the marriage liturgy in the Scottish Episcopal Church a few years ago.

    And then I ask Marion whether she just think anything goes.

    Take a look at the video – comments and questions welcome.

    I think you mean Alan Cumming – though I’ve never see the Good Wife.

    Alan is certainly Scottish and can be seen along with someone else you know on the front cover of this publication.

      The Good Wife is one of my favorite US TV shows. He plays the part with no detectable accent whatever, unlike his fellow Brit, Archie Panjabi, who speaks with a very proper accent, but from who know where. This past week Alan’s character kissed a girl and they liked it!

          So he’s always had bad hair! The Ginger’s cute. Are those natural accents or tuned up a bit?

            Tuned up a bit though you do hear people speak like that.

    Here comes another book trying to persuade me that life in rural churches has a different set of challenges, presumptions and priorities to those which apply in an urban setting. To articulate that is also to articulate an uncertainty about who this book is aimed at. It might be written to encourage others engaged in…
