AI is on our side. Jesus, on the other hand, can be remarkably uncooperative.

A new obsession with Law & Order: SVU led me this week to a two-word phrase I wasn't going to say from the pulpit.

An incident involving the police took place at my church.
(Before anyone asks, my sore-looking eye is unrelated.)

A birthday is probably the least interesting thing about a person. A short homily for the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Maybe teaching children right from wrong isn’t enough of a reason to have religious schools.

The artists who come to Edinburgh every August know what it is to arrange their entire lives around something. Christians, take note.

I hope what I say at the end of this #sermon is true. I hope that hearing what people have said after the death of another human being makes us see something in ourselves. And then do something about it.

Not everything is about #DoctorWho. Or is it? A 2-min homily for the Feast of the #Transfiguration of the Lord.

If I don’t write stuff down, I forget it. So my desk is covered in small pieces of paper, scribbled with reminders. I’m sure there are better systems.

During lockdown I worked with art historian Debbie Lewer on podcasts looking at works of art. This year I’ve had a go at it myself, looking at The Crucifixion Triptych by Rogier van der Weyden. A #GoodFriday meditation.

You know how they say, “God broke the mould after he made you”? I think that’s true for all of us. Which is slightly inconvenient.

It’s now nine months until Christmas, which seems odd to think about in the middle of Lent.

Moving from single vision lenses to multi. 👓 Not just a sign you’re getting more mature, but a sign your faith is, too.

Several clergy colleagues were wondering this week how today’s gospel fits with Mothering Sunday. This was my take. #MotheringSunday #John9
