  • Greetings at Eid

    IMG_4673 downsized

    Over the last few days there has been a mood of expectation around on Great Western Road where I live and work. Now the feast that so many have been waiting for has come. Today the Muslims in Glasgow are celebrating Eid.

    I’m looking forward to celebrating with the leaders of one of the Muslim communities in Glasgow at a special meal.

    This year the celebrations for Eid fall on the same weekend as the ancient Glasgow Fair, a feast which had its origins within the Christian community of Glasgow. At this time, let Glasgow flourish and may all its citizens celebrate. On behalf of the Christian community I lead, I pray a blessing upon the Muslims of my neighbourhood in Great Western Road, and upon of this city and to the Muslim peoples of the wider world.

    Eid Mubarak.

    Thank you for this sermon. It further clarified several things that I feel strongly about. I too pray that we no longer hear angry drums but canticles of truth, love and peace.

    Well, a significant debate in the Church of Scotland today on questions relating to ministers in same-sex relationships and also with regard to ministers who are looking to bless couples in same-sex relationships. They have chosen a very modest step forward. It’s not a great triumph for the cause, but the alternative was worse. So,…

  • BBC Broadcast

    My very greatful thanks to all those who helped to make the BBC Broadcast possible. I’m very pleased with it. It is a big corporate task involving script input and delivery, choiring, organing, breakfast service, stewarding, serving, musician supporting and congregation turner-uping. Without any of these it would be greatly diminished. I’m told that the…
