    Thanks for this sermon Kelvin. I now know more about spikenard than I did (which was nothing much!). And I also like the Gandhi reference.

    According to my sources spikenard is a sharp smell, somewhere between mint and ginseng. Now you see, I had it more myrrh like, more heady. But I can see that mint and ginseng would be better at covering up rotting body smells.

  • sh(OUT) – Glasgow's Gallery of Modern Art

    The opening of the new exhibition sh(OUT) opened tonight. I made it to the opening bash, it being my day off. (I still take a day off in Holy Week lest I make it not unto the end). I’m pleased that GoMA and Glasgow City Countil run these social justice themed exhibitions every couple of…

  • Trumpet Call

    Do you play the trumpet, or do you know anyone who does? Having resolved the timpani drum transport crisis, we are now in need of a couple of trumpet players for Sunday morning.

  • A spine tingling start

    We had a great start to Holy Week yesterday. A very full church in the morning with an excellent procession outside and back into church. All glory, laud and honour! At night, my spine was tingled more than once by the choir. In particular, the repeated phrase “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, turn to the Lord your God”…
