This month there haven’t been any major hot-button topics to really get stuck into. The Anglicans have been sitting back and evaluating the fallout from their synod. The Scottish Gender Recognition Bill has sadly been kicked into the long grass with nary a clue as to when it’ll be changed or resuscitated. So, what toContinue reading “Labels”

Holed below the waterline?
First let me begin with an apology. Last month when I published my Blog, I found that only some of my Email Subscribers received the email version of the blog. I’m not sure, but I think there were more who didn’t receive it, than who did. On reporting the issue, WordPress confirmed that: “We nowContinue reading “Holed below the waterline?”
Let’s try that again!
I need to begin with an apology. When I wrote my last blog, I rushed it. Life happened and I ended up with too little time, and the deadline to publish just didn’t give me the time I would have normally wanted to make sure I dotted all the i’s and crossed all the t’sContinue reading “Let’s try that again!”
How does the Lambeth Conference affect me?
In my previous Blog Post, I wondered aloud what I should write about this month. Since my last Blog, apart from a few minor stories, there has only been one hot-button issue to reflect on, from where I’m sitting. You on the other hand may say, well, what about … this, or … that issue. Continue reading “How does the Lambeth Conference affect me?”
Reflecting on my Pride
(Just like last month, as a bit of fun, look out for the hidden rock/pop song titles!) When I released my last blog, it was mere hours before a Pride March – my first “Pride” March (though not my first march), and since then I’ve been to a second. So, what were the experiences like? Continue reading “Reflecting on my Pride”
Pride (In The Name Of Love)
Every June we celebrate Pride Month, although each of us will view and celebrate it slightly differently. Some will look forward with a growing excitement or anticipation and others will have done it so many times before, it’s just become a part of life. Many will just see it as a welcome mix of coloursContinue reading “Pride (In The Name Of Love)”
Now, how does that work?
The reason for that image will become clearer at the end of the blog, but for this piece, we need to go back to the beginning! Over the months, I’ve tackled a range of issues. This month I want to go back to something I was struggling with when I first began writing my essayContinue reading “Now, how does that work?”
“Safe and secure in the arms of the Lord?”
As I sat down to write this, I was uncertain where I ought to focus my thoughts. Should be something to do with the ongoing terrible news of Russia invading Ukraine – no, by the time this gets published the world might look very different. Besides, there are more than enough other folks writing muchContinue reading ““Safe and secure in the arms of the Lord?””
New Birth – An Invitation
I will get back to folk telling their stories and experiences in due course, but in the meantime, we are within touching distance of Christmas Day, and my mind was drawn to that story of the first Christmas and who saw the infant Christ first. Some folk were in the right place at the rightContinue reading “New Birth – An Invitation”
My Story – Sarah
Last month I began a series where I ask someone else to tell me their story. I have given little glimpse’s of my own story as part of my essay, which some of you will have read, but I haven’t personally experienced a situation where the Church effectively drives you away — rejecting you for something youContinue reading “My Story – Sarah”
