If you have not yet read Bishop Brian’s recent lecture on the Anglican Communion, it is well worth doing so. Plan time for it. It’s not one for multi-tasking.
It is one of the most sensible and interesting perspectives I’ve come across recently, and I want to recommend it rather than take issue [...]

Blessed Google. More search-string amusement. Someone found the blog today when they asked for ‘edgy quirky boutique’.
Perfect descriptor of the SEC, no?

Scotland has seven bishops — for the first time in a long time.
+Mark Strange was made bishop of Moray, Ross, and Caithness today, amidst much hope and expectation.
Official information is here.
Presumably there are juicer accounts by the Youth Network somewhere. Does the Youth Network really not have a blog? Or do they [...]

An other good post over at Episcopal Cafe. This one is on GenX, Harry Potter, blogs, outreach and ecclesiology. It reminds me of a lot of good and interesting people I have known who want God in their lives, but really struggle with the church. It ties in, too, with the questions of [...]

Day dawns on a new era. I decided to let others do the blogging from Aberdeen and went to the beach instead.
You can read about +Bob’s consecration from Ali, Kelvin, or +David. It was all so very meet and right, and not a grey book in sight.

I love the randomness of search strings people use to make their way here.
In the past 24 hours, we have been the tentative answer to the prayers of those seeking (among other things):
house exchange jewish
casual wedding barbecue
where does one kneel to pray in church
(one presumes Jeeves is involved here)
and (my favourite)
A furious devout church

Today St Andrew’s, St Andrews said goodbye to Bob, Liz and Timothy. All in all it was very low key, which is as Bob wanted it. Mind you, there’s a limit to how low key one can make it with 180 or so adults and another 30-40 kids all wanting to make a [...]

‘There are dragons in the vegetable garden.
… or there were. They’ve moved to the north pasture now.’
Meg, not replying — it did not do to answer Charles Wallace too quickly when he said something odd — returned to the refrigerator. ‘I suppose I’ll have lettuce and tomato as usual…’

There’s an interesting article by Martin Smith on holiness and leadership over at Episcopal Cafe. It seems to me this should be required reading for all those involved in the selection of bishops in our church.
