As I drove home from Rothesay tonight, I was listening to the static on Radio 4, which was occasionally interrupted by Front Row. In one such interruption, a play was being reviewed: promising premise, stunning cast, but not quite what the reviewer had hoped for. When asked where it went wrong she [...]

time for change

now the holidays and synod are done, it’s time for a bit of blog restlessness. I’m going to play about with themes again.
I like the one I’ve had, but I’m bored. Trouble is: there aren’t many left worth using. So, forgive the flitting, and don’t be surprised if it all [...]
in case you are wondering…

no, I won’t mind at all if Dunoon and Rothesay have tiny little congregations on the third of August because you have all decided to go to Glasgow. Would that I could be there too.

Go read about two remarkable women and the strange ways God works. Peacebang often makes me smile and makes me think, but this post is stunning.

Susan Olson, who co-ordinates the Young Clergywomen’s Project that many of you have heard me speak of, is looking for volunteers to do a survey on clerical dress. Remember, the project is ecumenical, so it’s not as obvious as it seems.
But, she’s looking for a particular demographic, which I suspect we are well suited [...]

Instead of blogging, I have been thinking about blogging for a synod lunch time presentation.

Well at last Hilary Clinton has said all the right things.
Shame she couldn’t manage the smile.
a new approach to sermon writing

Read texts: call of Abraham; Paul on Abraham; Call of Levi, teachings & healing.
Flirt with a literal reading of Genesis (‘Abraham, go…’). Pick up sandals and head into town.
Walk for half an hour amidst the surprising number of tourists playing on the small and disappointing beach in Dunoon.
Question: Is this all they hoped [...]
