01/01/2018
1. General Election in the second half of the year.
2. “…and as the polls close, our exit poll predicts that the Conservative Party is unlikely to be able to form a new government…”
3. The next but one leader of the Conservative Party becomes Ruth Davidson MP.
4. The hipsters get bored of vinyl and discover cameras with actual, you know, film.
5. No date for a new referendum on Scottish Independence.
6. No progress for LGBT affirming Anglicans in England.
7. Progress for LGBT affirming Anglicans elsewhere, particularly Brazil.
8. Increasing realisation that sexual abuse is part of church culture. #churchtoo #metoo.
9. FTSE lower at the end of 2018 than it is at the beginning. (7687)
10. The end of the beard.

Didn’t a wise man once say that all clergy are camp ;-)?

Although the wedding show photo does feature hot *female* models! It’s the sort of thing one might find in nuts or zoo (er, one would imagine) 😉

  OK.OK, I’m no more camp than any other member of the clergy who finds themselves dressed head to toe in gold on a catwalk with glamorous models.
  
  That’s not very camp, is it?

Jargon explanation: “spikey” V. High Church. Incense, liturgical precision and stuff like Mass & Benediction etc.
“boat boy” – small human being often male who carries the vessel with the incense grains in it.
“camp” – default position of many Scots clergy, especially the spikey one’s:-)

Re the class thing: Spikey Mikes has welcomed me in spite of my going to Beath High! Mind you, we do count a Nobel prize winner, a former Scottish Rugby international and the odd MP promoted to the Lord’s amongst our FP’s so…

At St Columba’s this morning there was the usual welcome printed in bold on the front of the service sheet:

“We believe God affirms all regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, background or ethnicity and we welcome any who wish to worship and share Communion with us. We welcome and support LGBT people, affirm their lives and ministries, and celebrate their relationships.”
