A pleasant afternoon at Canongate Kirk and Holyrood Palace celebrating the installation of the new OStJ Prior of Scotland (in our congregation and chaired the patronage committee that appointed me, therefore a very good chap). I can cross HRH the Duke of Gloucester off my royal bingo card as well!

Breaking: Pope sends letter to US bishops decrying mass deportation and rejecting "any measure that tacitly or explicitly identifies the illegal status of some migrants with criminality." The true "ordo amoris," he says, is the ethos of the Good Samaritan. www.vatican.va/content/fran...

Remembering our dear friend, Dean Robert Willis, today. His words & wisdom shining through our service this morning & thinking of all those gathering in Salisbury later today in thanksgiving for such a remarkable life & ministry. May he rest in peace & rise in glory.

“the service was a very boring and uninspiring one”. You can disagree with the content of the sermon all you like, but don’t you DARE go after Anglican/Episcopal liturgy!

Things may seem overwhelming at the moment, but we’re here, praying and serving and offering a welcome to all, alongside our ecumenical partners in this place. This is Christ’s world, not any president’s.
