It was as fine a day as could be in Edinburgh today. I now know how to make a mess of edit the provincial website. I received more stellar spiritual direction. And I had ten minutes to spare just at the right time of day for a light show at the [...]

I’ve just had a request for an Edinburgh gathering of Changing Attitude Scotland. Because things have been dormant for so long, I thought we might use the blogs to get word around. If you live near Edinburgh and/ or know of anyone who might like to meet up, would you please let me [...]

This week the Diocese of Argyll and the Isles launched its new web page.
Having bravely responded to the bishop’s question ‘what do you think?’ I must now decide whether to get in touch with the web designer. So, here’s a question for you all:
If you were going to offer, say, two [...]

The SEC was at the Scottish Wedding Show for the first time today. Worth it till about four. Deadly thereafter. Thank God for the hats that relieved boredom. Photo of wedding show clergy below — but for the provost kissing model brides on the cat-walk, you will have to buy Sunday’s [...]

We’ve got a larger and more diverse pool of people this time: mostly Piskie, with a few eccumenical friends thrown in. Five of the seven diocese are represented (anyone from Moray or Aberdeen want to join?). We have poets, priests, photographers, Fransiscans, and maybe even the odd prophet thrown in.

Yesterday, I received an invitation (along with the congregation) to produce an article for a booklet that is being written about LCM. For those spared the tortures of Piskie jargon, that is Local Collaborative Ministry.
Why thank you, said I, only one thing: why us?
I found that I was thrown into an old dilemma. [...]

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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

For those of you who may have missed it, the new provincial website is well worth a visit. And it seems to be doing a world of good for my blog stats too.
Hmm. I’ve just realized that much of the information they have on our congregations is bizarrely untrue. One last [...]
