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.

Jesus is gone

Jesus has been here
and gone
the echo of betrayal
still lingers
the darkness seems
a little darker here

there is a gap in the darkness
where the son of light once prayed
a crease in the air
like a warped lens
through which we can see
what fear has done
and ghosts of the past
have come to shape our present

the kiss has been given
and still the ripples distort the scene
where the son of humanity has been betrayed

this may be the first
but it is not the last

the path is now certain
the powers that be have chosen their way
chosen how to complete this story
and Jesus has been stolen from us

yet my friends
with all that you can believe
conspire with the light
torn from us now
yet crumpled somewhere
ready to rise again
conspire to believe
that this turning of events
is not the way love intends to leave things

Go now
into the night
in the echo of a kiss
and believe
in a God
who will not end things here
