• New Statement from College of Bishops

    There’s a new statement from the College of Bishops today about same-sex marriage.

    It can, and should, be read in full – see here: College of Bishops Guidance re Marriage 2014

    I’m appalled by its contents and in particular appalled at the way the Bishops of the Scottish Episcopal Church are treating gay clergy and lay readers in the church. The homophobic bullying of candidates for ministry – ordinands and candidates for lay readership is particularly unpleasant.

    I expect I will have more to say, in many ways and in many places.

    Greetings from New Zealand, St. Michael & All Angels, Christchurch, where we, too, enjoyed the benefits of a con-celebration of the Corpus Christi Feast. Worship of God in the Sacrament of the Mass is certainly the highlight of our life in the City of Quakes. Celebrated in the St. Michael’s School Hall, while the church is being re-decorated, Corpus Christi reminded us of the closeness of Christ our Redeemer among God’s people – whatever the circumstances. Agape!

    The way you swing the thurible is interesting. It looks like the basis of a good golf swing.
