• This is a church for everybody

    Yesterday I reposted the It’s Time video from the equality network which features a 1 second cameo of me waving a sign. They filmed that over a year ago and as they collected those sign-waving people – religious leaders, celebs, couples, politicians etc they also asked them in front of the camera why they were involved in the campaign.

    They were aiming for just a couple of minutes so I had to think carefully about what to say.

    Here are the main points

    • This isn’t a gay church its a church for everybody and that’s why people like coming here.
    • Churches have an ethical responsiblity to promote equality.
    • What needs to be heard is the message of respect and love and inclusion and I know hundreds of Christians who are putting that message out.
    • Church is a place where the message is that you are utterly loved.
    • Churches are changing these days and thank God they are.

    Take a look:

    I’ll  be posting just one more video from the campaign tomorrow, just ahead of the vote in parliament. If you want to join in and let Members of the Scottish Parliament know you want change, it just takes 2 minutes (the same length of time as this video) and you can find out how to do that here:

    And this is all in Maryhill? There will be great wailing and gnashing of teeth in Newton Mearns and Giffnock when the news gets out..

    At our local Lidl we also have quail as well as the other items you mention

      Quail here too. Quail eggs from Waitrose though, not yet Lidl.

    West Enders eat moose. South Siders eat Wholefoods. I know where I’d rather be.

      I’m not at all sure that any shop selling a few nuts and bits and bobs of fresh veg on either side of the river can be as impressive as Moose in Maryhill.

    Does the Maryhill Lidl also offer Canadian Lobster? Not that I am bragging but the needy of the Rubarb Triangle need some joy in their lives and our Lidl is meeting this need

    Yes, lobster is on offer in Maryhill.

    I choose not to crow about lobster for it comes from the sea and consequently should not be eaten.

      The kashrut/OT problem is the lack of fins and scales, not the sea per se.

  • Episcopalian Gossip

    I returned to work yesterday to find the treasurer in very excitable mood. He had, he assured me, very good news. Rearranging the words “a”, “very”,”legacy” and “big” into a well known phrase or saying in my mind, I asked him what it was. “A mistress,” he replied, clearly determined both to get my attention…

  • Back from Sweden

    I’ve been away for the weekend to Sweden to our companion diocese of Gothenburg. It was rather frustrating to be away from all the political news this weekend. You go away for the weekend and come back to political turmoil. Honestly, you can’t turn your back for a moment. Anyway, this democrat thinks there is…

  • Election Shambles

    The election shambles that is currently going on in Scotland was all too predictable. Indeed, I commented yesterday to someone that I thought it would be difficult. I don’t trust the electronic counting system. In a close vote, which this appears to be, you need the smallest margin for error possible. Ways to solve the…

  • Congratulations

    My congratuations to Stirling Liberal Democrats for capturing 3 seats and thus being in a very strong position on a hung council. There will be much rejoicing in certain households I know very well indeed. Politics just got a lot more interesting in Stirling.
