But most of all... people who want to be together: caring, accepting and loving each other.

Inside

  • Church Interior - Fly Through (Don't make yourself dizzy)
    A wee panorama of the inside of our kirk when empty. Shhhh...You'll waken the church mouse! (and please close the door behind you in case it gets out) We know it's not about the building but it is very clever how you can do this. Many thanks to our property convenor's son Campbell McKerracher and if you go to cammylad.com then you'll see more of his suff.

Chocolate Teapots (8th Aug 2010)

We're living a parallel life with the lectionary this week again visiting Jonah. But the Hebrew's passage (Hebrews 11:1-3,8-16) appeals in many ways.

Faith laughs at certainty but respects the journey.
Faith knows more about the past than the future, which is more useful if you only have trust to send you into tomorrow.
Faith lets the dust collect on ancient tomes of doctrine because she would rather live the experiences that make that doctrine real.
Faith honours what has been said about her in the past but is keen to add a few of her own questions.
Faith is ready to break bread anywhere, especially in those places she is told by faith's curators not to.
Faith is ready to spill wine and talk with those who come to clear it up.
Faith knows the difference between the narrow way and the loving way and usually goes for the loving way.
Faith is willing to take a chance with everything ever written about her and tries to stretch it a bit more.
Faith pushes open the doors of love's realm in all sorts of yet to be visited places, and longs for a question to enter.
Faith isn't just what we're told it is. It is what is still yet to be.
