    It is World AIDS Day next week. To mark that date this year, I’ve recorded a number of conversations with Marion Chatterley in connection with her work as Chaplain to people with HIV and Hep C in Scotland.

    Here are some of the things that Marion and I touched on this conversation:

    • Does it matter if you become HIV+ when they’ve got medicines that can keep it under control?
    • What stigma means in Scotland today
    • How young gay men are putting themselves at unnecessary risk
    • Dating apps
    • Why the church needs to talk about healthy relationships

    There will be more later in the week. Comments and questions welcome below.

  • News from the States

    The news came through last night that the Anglican Communion is to have its second bishop who happens to have a gay partner. Canon Mary Glasspool was elected as a new suffragan bishop in Los Angeles a few months ago. What’s happened since is that the wider American church has had a chance to say…

  • E and B

    Its a funny thing, Choral Evensong. A few years ago, I would have said it was purely of antiquarian interest. However, I was wrong. Last night was a good example. Glorious music. Quite a diverse aged congregation. A diverse aged choir too. Gorecki’s Totus tuus utterly beguiling us all in its simplicity and sparse beauty.…

  • Sermon preached on 14 March 2010

    Here's Bishop David's sermon for Lent 4. It was good to have Bishop David here this morning – he came as he is currently our diocesan bishop. (And we won't be able to say that for long).
