Thank you for introducing the word “stoor” to those of us in the non-Scottish world.

Have you been glowing again?
Honestly, I think that it really says something great when they know, even if in a setting where they might not know!

I agree! As daughter of a C of S one, I’ve spent time in the company of more than my fair share. Some have ‘the aura’ and some, most definitely do not…..

Did we know that the Norwegian for vacuum cleaner is “stoorsooker”?

Huge compliment.
And any time you want to come here and be calm at workmen, feel free. Then I can be free to go somewhere quiet and just lose it, as I have been longing to do for some weeks …

@Ruth – the day I was ordained, the wife of a bishop told me my aura was golden. She saw them regularly.
@Hermano David – You couldn’t see the glow for the dust.

Or you could try coming and being very calm at me, if your nerve is good enough.

I noted Anne’s comment about seeing Bishop Kevin in splendid black vestments on Wednesday at Millport and it got me thinking about the wearing of black vestments here. I’ve tended to be lucky in that I’ve been in a couple of churches which have black vestments and which I very happily wear for the requiem…

Sermon preached for All Saints 2011
One of the nights of my life which I most remember is the night that I was ordained as a priest. It was in our cathedral in Perth and was very magnificent. Someone preached a great sermon. The music was as good as it could have been. The crowd was large and their welcoming of…
