    “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.

    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.

    My point was that I think that the Scottish Synod is the first actual Synod of a Province to say no. Happy to be proved wrong though.

  • High Mass

    One bright spot in an otherwise rather bleak week at work was to be asked to celebrate a big High Mass for Affirming Catholicism (Scotland) in the summer. It is o­ne of those excellent organisations which I have never quite got round to joining, so is very sweet of them to ask me to join in. (Or perhaps they…

  • BBC v Government

    So, when faced with the choice, whom do I trust more, the BBC or the Labour Govenment.The BBC wins that question hands down.It is terribly sad that there should have been so much fallout from three words (“government probably knew”) broadcast at six in the morning.
