What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • It is a justice issue, isn’t it?

    The question is this – is LGBT inclusion a justice issue or isn’t it?

    If we think it is a justice issue then we pray about it in church, right?

    Those two questions feel to me a little uncomfortable.

    We pray readily in churches up and down the land about justice issues – we pray about poverty, we pray for those who are down on their luck, we pray about homelessness. Increasingly (though still not that often) we pray about climate change.

    If we believe LGBT inclusion is a justice issue (rather than a tricky and embarrassing disagreement) then we’ll pray about it, won’t we? In intercessions. In church. At the mass.

    Won’t we?

    Here’s a notice announcing a special service which has been organised by Changing Attitude Scotland to do just that.

    The celebrant will be the Rev Kirstin Freeman. Others are very welcome to copy this idea. Anyone can have a Eucharist for Change.

    But my question is really about regular weekly services.

    We will pray. Won’t we?

    Yes, the first one is a little too well produced.

    I’m imagining the cat version: disdainful look; “have you been away? my food bowl’s empty” miaow; walks off.

    Having enjoyed the doggie reunions video very much, Opal the Cat wishes to say that he hasn’t looked at his food dish once since I got back here tonight, nose rubbing, tummy tickling, head butting and general joyous ‘glad to see you’ stuff for a couple of hours, then an interesting video, followed by a companionable sleep on the table – on my hand ….

    I know someone who ,when he was young, used to get a similar reception from a boxer dog called Tess

    Yes, the first one is neatly packaged, but it appears to be a commercial, not home videos.

    Sorry, but it doesn’t take returning from a tour of duty for dogs to act this way, just go to the grocery store for 30 minutes and dogs will behave the same over-the-top way!

    Some of the dogs are bigger than the humans

  • What’s in Kelvin’s Tooth

    If its Tuesday, it must be root canal treatment and another session of gazing into the eyes of Stylianos whilst he does things inside my mouth which feel like someone is twanging a rubber band behind my nose. Again. After some time poking and twanging, Stylianos shakes his head sadly and says, “No, the infection…

  • Marian Feast & looking ahead

    We had an amazing weekend here last week. It was our Feast Day, of course. The Feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary falls right in the middle of August, which is not particularly the time of year on which one might choose to mark a congregation’s Matronal Day. In the last couple of years we’ve…
