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 …

@PamB – we didn’t, but we are delighted.
@Rosemary – thanks but no thanks. Being calm at someone else’s workmen is surely too much for anyone.
@Ruth – the day I was ordained, the wife of a bishop told me my aura was golden. She saw them regularly.

What’s the Scottish Episcopal Church is talking about?
I did a wordle of the most recent issue of inspires, the Scottish Episcopal Church’s magazine to compare what we are talking about in the magazine with what we are talking about in synod. Quite interesting, no?

Want to know what General Synod is like?
Well, here is a wordle made up from last year’s Synod Minutes. (Well, the draft copy, anyway). It is entirely unscientific, but it is interesting to look at how the words relate. Word size implies frequency of use. Now, what does this tell us about our church?

Extra, Extra!
In addition to the extra Lent Devotions tonight (Eucharist at 6.30 pm followed by meditation and then Compline), there is also an extra Choral Evensong tomorrow (Saturday) in St Mary’s. There is a Royal School of Church Music singing day for Scottish Voices, which our own Frikki Walker directs. It will be splendid and as…
