The Candidates for election to the office of Bishop in the Diocese of Glasgow and Galloway have been released today. You can see who they are here. Pray for them, and pray for the electoral synod as decisions are made in early January.
Until then I’ll certainly be doing lots of praying and thinking, and looking [...]

“Its no us, its Scottish Water ye need – we just deal with the run off on the roads”, says the man at the council
“its no us, its the Coooncil – we just deal with the sewers hen” says the patronising woman at Scottish water
And so it began – days of wrangling, arguing and trying [...]
A plea….

It is not often I comment on the activities of Bishops, or on the actions of Anglican provinces outside of my own. One of the joys of being an Anglican has always been the ability to relish difference – we are of all colours and communities, embody the theological spectrum, yet despite our differences have [...]

it was an extremely busy weekend, with AT and GY coming to work with one of the congregations after the Sunday Service, and then a dash to the other congregation to the Baptism of wee A.
AT was one of my tutors in Edinburgh when I was training, and her husband a placement supervisor. She has [...]

see the Beeb here. I’ve blogged about his music before, but it must be on the old one i deleted…

She is at home, warm and being looked after by those who care deeply for her, and being dosed on calpol and baby ibuprofen, after reacting unfavourably to toddler tamiflu!

Theres something wonderfully simple, yet greatly rewarding in those 2 small words.

I have been called a lot of names in my lifetime, but one which kinda rankles at the moment is to be called niaive. This because I believe that the church should stand up and be counted against the evils in this nation. You see, the opponents of our words rake through the mud and [...]
