  • Predictions for 2019

    1. The UK will begin leaving the EU on 29 March 2019. It will take 10 years to leave, 10 years for it to be evident to the whole country how stupid it was and 10 years to get back in, with none of our current special measures.  (Hope this prediction doesn’t come to pass but fear it will).
    2. The only thing to make EU-positive lefty-liberals to have pause for thought will be the EU Elections in May which will result in big gains for the so-called populist right.
    3. No progress towards same-sex marriage in the Church of England, despite much clearer calls for it to happen.
    4. Significant concerns in many UK dioceses about the cost of bishops, and particularly their spouses, attending the Lambeth Conference in 2020. (Over £5000 each).
    5. Elizabeth Warren / Beto O’Rourke begin to emerge as the Democratic dream ticket.
    6. Stricter legislation in connection with drone operators.
    7. Steps towards legalisation of cannabis  under serious consideration within SNP.
    8. No referendum on Independence.
    9. Cyber attacks merging with terrorist attacks
    10. One of Scotland’s daily newspapers ceases print publication.

    Lovely folks! Oh, do they make rainbow collars? You would certainly look striking in it! Of course you are striking in the black and white amongst all the other colorfully attired ones!

    It was an honour to march in the light of God; an honour to be with others from St Mary’s and to be able to invite so many people to our church.

    Yes, I agree with Rosemary and Franny! It was a great morning. I wish we’d managed to make it all the way around but I think our exit was well-timed. We even managed a nap after all the excitement.

  • The Archbishop of Canterbury is not a Pope

    There’s currently a petition doing the rounds demanding that the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Archbishop of York make some kind of statement deploring the support the Church of Nigerian (Anglican Communion) has given to recent anti-gay laws. Similar calls have been made in regard to Uganda. I’m refusing to sign it. We should not…

  • Florence Li Tim-Oi – Celebrating 70 years since her ordination

    I’m just off to celebrate a Eucharist because it is a Feast Day – the Conversion of St Paul. The standard, if rather weak, in-joke is that one is going to pray for the Conversion of St Paul rather than simply remember the Conversion of St Paul – not least because Paul had things to…
