What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • The shortest day, the longest night.

    Today is the shortest day in the northern hemisphere. The winter solstice takes place at 5.11 pm today.

    Please have your gongs, whistles and drums at the ready for the moment.

    “something that the church overwhelmingly felt was not the way forward”

    …… the way set by the emergency Primates meeting way back when Gene had just been elected was not the way forward and, sad to say, I can’t think of any good that has flowed from it.

    I can only hope that the threats are now over and the listening begins.

    BTW, Father Mark Harris in the US says that the Philippine province has already said no to the covenant.

    Yes – it is reported that the Philippine province has said no, but the reports I saw suggested that it was their bishops who said no rather than a vote in a General Synod.

Fr David arrives in an Ayrshire Roman Catholic parish, with unresolved issues from his past which unravel with a sadness, a poignancy and an apparent inevitability. It is the inevitability which is…

  • Lord Jauncey of Tullichettle

    Pausing just for a moment to remember Lord Jauncey of Tullichettle who died just over a week ago. He was a dedicated member of the Scottish Episcopal Church. [Indeed, he might even have been one of the 100 or so True Scottish Episcopalians that only exist at any one time]. I remember Lord Jauncey’s finest…

  • What is a wiki?

    Now, I still think the wiki thing is going to be big, but people still don’t get it. Congregational wiki? Church unconference anyone? If you don’t know what I’m talking about, see this video: [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dnL00TdmLY]

  • Presbyterian Bloggers?

    I was asked earlier this week whether or not there was a network of bloggers within the Church of Scotland akin to the Scottish Episcopal Blog Posse. I’m not sure that there is. Can anyone point me to persons blogging about the Church of Scotland? (And I don’t mean Episcopalians, I mean those who belong…
