  • Advert – Canon Missioner

    There’s a post advertised in the Church Times this week that it seems appropriate to highlight here too. We’re advertising for a new Canon Missioner for the diocese. This person will have a liturgical base in St Mary’s so as well as going out and about in the diocese, will be taking part in things here too. The primary task is to support the bishop in his role as leader of mission in the diocese. One of the things that the person will be working on is connecting the cathedral and the rest of the diocese together.

    It is quite an exciting job opportunity. Details will be in the Church Times for three weeks and the closing date is the end of the month.

    Here’s the advert:

    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 ….

    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!

  • Mitregate

    There has been a hat controversy brewing down south over the border during the last week or so. The short version is that the Presiding Bishop of the US based Episcopal Church was inhibited from wearing a mitre or carrying a pastoral staff whilst visiting Southwark Cathedral last Sunday. I suspect this is because the…

  • +Katharine Jefferts Schori – interview

    One of the highlights for me of last week’s synod was the chance to grab a quick chat with Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori, the Presiding Bishop of the US based Episcopal Church. We just had 10 minutes (and only 10 minutes!) to record a video interview between the afternoon session and the evening dinner last…

  • Back to base

    Coming back to St Mary’s was rather a shock yesterday. In the time that I had been away at General Synod every piece of equipment known to every broadcast engineer in Scotland appeared to have been put in the Cathedral. This is the weekend that a number of pieces of music are being recorded in…
