Can I suggest you head over to Akma’s blog to read his post about the death of Aaron Swartz. It is moving and thoughtful and expresses more eloquently than I can how I feel about this death.
Most people won’t know Aaron’s name. However we all get the benefit of his work.
As Akma says, “the churches have an intrinsic interest in communication, free communication, profligate communication.”
Hear, hear.
Given the rain this morning, Gwyneth’s image of the ark was particularly apt.
TAPADH LEIBH to Provost Kelvin from Auchy cat…….I am truly a Scottish Episcopalian cat now.
Gorgeous!
Thanks everyone, it was a lovely service and a really enjoyable occasion – Opal would have explored happily all day. Sorry about the dirty pawmarks on the prayer table though!
Julie – surely all cats are Scottish Episcopalian? Dignified, mysterious, of looong heritage, and with wonderful music ( oh, wait a minute……)
Completely correct, PamB.
A h-uile la sona dhuibh ‘s gun la idir dona dhuibh!
(May all your days be happy ones)
The day begins with the discovery that someone (a member of the Orthodox church community who use the church sometimes) left a box of candles on a heater yesterday. The mess and stench greet me when I go into church at 0730 to get ready for the early service.
There was an outbreak of chiasmus in the Scottish Parliament yesterday, with this comment coming from David McLetchie: “Wouldn't it be ironic if … the criminals can be smokers but the smokers will become criminals?”Very clever. Of such stuff preachers are made and preachers make stuff of.
That last blog entry about the Election is an example of an apophatic blog entry. Not many of them about in the blogsphere.
I'd just like you to note how good I am being at not blogging anything about the Episcopal Election in this diocese.Lead us not into temptation.
