• Scottish Episcopal Kalendar 2026

    For years now, I’ve produced a Kalendar for the Scottish Episcopal Church with all the bible readings set out for the year.

    This year’s Kalendar is available online so that anyone can download it and print it out for themselves.
    It is available right here: Scottish Kalendar 2026

    Anyone who would like to make a donation because they enjoy the Kalendar so much and want to encourage me to keep doing it is welcome to do so via paypal. I used to offer printed copies at £5 per copy.

    The summary of the Bishops’ Instruction on Fasting and Abstinence is available as a single pdf here: Bishops’ Instructions on Fasting

    They weep in kitchens everywhere, in dough
    That’s baked into the daily bread of grief,
    Because of talk that follows like a thief.
    (It enters ears then aims a blow.)

    I think, that like so much that seems to be about love, that it was a rush job and it hadn’t had enough time to be resilient enough to take the pressure being in the display.

    Ahh, such an honest symbol of love… if only we’d allow ourselves the privilege of such honesty! Maybe, just maybe…

    One of the odd features of coronavirus time for me has been vivid dreams and disturbed sleep. I know that I’m not alone in this, I’ve heard others speak about it too.

    A sermon preached on 14 November 2021 We live in precedented times. Oh yes, I know what everyone has been saying for the best part of the last two years.
