Maundy Thursday

St Paul's:  the long-standing rival 
to Westminster Abbey
The Kirkintilloch gym has TV monitors fixed to their machines.  Today I ran,  rowed and cycled while watching the Queen at her Maundy Thursday service in Westminster Abbey.


What was remarkable was the amount of Scripture that was read.   It seemed so non-PC to hear elderly Prince Philip read Jesus' words at the end of the Parable of the sheep and goats,  "And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal."   And at the close for the congregation to sing, "God save the Queen".


In fact,  it was better entertainment than the golf or the cricket.

A wonky couple of days

Only two weeks to go before semester finishes. Students are pretty stressed out. They cheered on Friday when class finished. Had a visit last night from an ex-evangelical pastor who's joined the Catholic church and now teaches religion in a an upmarket monks' school. He was keen to justify his actions so feel he's not at peace with the move. It made me think how poor the care of pastors is when things get difficult for them. And how astute Catholic clergy are, more so than their evangelical counterparts. Reading New Testament Theology by Philip Esler, who's trying to justify praying to the saints. Feel it's been a wonky couple of days.

Is church membership biblical?

Next translated offering from Ayuda Pastoral (Help for Pastors): Is it right to have a system of local church membership?   What principles are there for a balanced view of such a membership? The New Testament does not give us detailed information about local church practices.   We don’t know the times and forms of services nor what were the customs about admitting someone to church membership or even if such a list existed.   These things need to be worked out in our own context.  However there are some biblical principles involved: There existed a system of recognizing church members .  Passages which deal with church discipline show that there was a way of knowing who belonged to the church (Matt. 18:17;  3 Jn.  1:10).  Of the 75 uses of the word “church” in the New Testament,   most refer to a local one with people recognized as belonging to it. Basic knowledge about Christ was required for membershi...

Jimmy the hairdresser

Missionary life is one of learning to make many small adjustments. And after a year or two life in the foreign country becomes normal. At least on 95% of occasions. One simple thing that always seems to cause me problems is getting my hair cut. It's cheap and Latins are skillful, but my experiences have been problematic. At one the lady employed such strong arm tactics with my head that I wince every time I pass the place; at another the hairdresser was so absorbed watching TV that I ended up with an unusual lopsided style. And a recent one was so dirty that my stomach churns thinking about it. So it was to new premises I turned, my ninth different one in the city. The microskirted girl called for "Jimmy" as I went in. With Rangers playing their big match I felt this was a good omen. Until Jimmy arrived, with his one earring and distinctive walk and talk. I noticed that the theme colour of the establishment was pink. As Jimmy tended my hair, I pondered about why missionar...
