What is in Kelvin's Head?

  • Deaconings and Priestings

    I’m sadly unable to be in St Mary’s this weekend for one of the most significant moments in the year – five people are being ordained at a special service on Saturday afternoon.

    These are moments that people remember for the whole of their lives.

    My exuberant good wishes to all those being ordained. Some I don’t know terribly well and some I have known at key points on their journey. For all, pray.

    For those being made deacon – may you be blessed in God’s service and you serve others.

    For those being made priests – remember you were made a deacon first. It remains your foundational ministry. To it, are these blessings added – to bring God to people and people to God in ways sacramental and mysterious.

    Come Holy Ghost, our souls inspire
    And lighten with celestial fire
    All those being ordained today
    In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
    Amen

    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..

      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.

    How often we ask God for things that cannot be given. This morning, we read the story of Jesus going into the wilderness and being tempted by the devil.

  • 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…
