  • Any Questions on Marriage?

    I’m going to be posting sometime over the next week a considered response to the announcement last week regarding marriage law reform in Scotland.

    (Note that I’m not calling it Equal Marriage yet as it seems to me to be a step in that direction but very definitely not yet a proposal for equality).

    I’ll be responding to comments and questions that have been raised off blog with me in the last week. Some in relation to what this means and some in relation to what it means within the church. Anyone who wants to ask anything or make a comment on here about all of this, is welcome to do so either in the comments, using the contact form or by twitter.

    Laughed a lot – thought it was bang on.

    I will say it again, though – in my experience no church ever grows unless it is offering a really good quality of worship and has an involved and welcoming congregation.

    Similarly, any church which cannot offer these is a disaster waiting to happen.

    But every shrinking church is not a church without these things, though too many are.

    Learning to look out, to ask ‘How can we serve others by offering what they truly need?’ is a good place to start. Asking: ‘What if God wanting here?’ is indispensable.

    Thank you so much Canon Cedric. Must admit to a touch of the spiritual glums last Sunday re the history of my personal stance in the Diocese of Oxford. Now you have me laughing all the way to the ‘bank of grace’ and the hope that lies within us.

  • Letterbox Poison

    I was disturbed to get a free lifestyle magazine through the letterbox containing a poisonous article about immigration and assylum seekers. Indeed, I was so angry about it this morning that I have been o­n to the Scottish Refugee Council. The sad thing was that I was o­nly the second person to call them about…

  • Pickets

    There was a strike in the University of Stirling today. This led me to question whether as a Chaplain I should cross the picket line or join it. In the end, it did not matter as the pickets had dispersed before I got there. The last time I faced this dilemma, the pickets did a…

  • Parliament Costs Up Again

    It is so hard to understand how the costs of the Holyrood parliament building appear to be rising again. One thing I do know is that it is bad for the politics business in general. It is hard for people to have confidence in decision makers who have presided over all of this. I am…
