Roy Cordukes wrote a new blog post: Advent / Shopping days until Christmas

Tue, 14 Dec 2010 23:01:03 +0000

Roy Cordukes wrote a new blog post: Advent / Shopping days until Christmas I finished my last exam for this semester today and so I can breathe a sigh of relief and look forward to Christmas free from the burden of revision and exam stress. I found myself most stressed by my Doctrine of Creation exam and that included a question of Calvin's doctrine of providence. According to Calvin [...]

Roy Cordukes wrote a new blog post: Living for now

Roy Cordukes wrote a new blog post: Living for now I should be at a funeral! Not anyone I know, but a member of my placement congregation. Instead I'm wondering what to do next, not that there's a shortage of things to do, but I normally work to a plan and like to think that my busy diary is reasonably well managed. I dug snow [...]

Roy Cordukes wrote a new blog post: Prayer shouting On Sunday at 11.55 we gathered around the War Memorial by the back door of Dalgety Parish Church. As well as the regular congregation there were others who came especially to remember. There was also a brass quartet to lead the singing and the local air cadets on parade. I had one task, to lead [...]

Roy Cordukes wrote a new blog post: Preaching as a student

Tue, 02 Nov 2010 11:47:27 +0000

Roy Cordukes wrote a new blog post: Preaching as a student Sunday was my first opportunity to preach in my placement church. I think it went OK, though I've yet to meet with my Supervisor to get feedback, so I may need to post a follow up to this blog comment! Anyway, I thought I would share my own impressions and reflections. The church had been [...]

Roy Cordukes wrote a new blog post: Is the church half full or half empty?

Mon, 18 Oct 2010 18:17:24 +0000

Roy Cordukes wrote a new blog post: Is the church half full or half empty? Last Sunday was the first of the October half term holidays and so numbers were down at my placement church. The minister was away doing his Interim Moderator duties and I was suddenly aware that I felt a sense of responsibility for how many people were at church as if it was a 'performance indicator'! [...]

Roy Cordukes wrote a new blog post: Baptism@aren't-we-rather-confused.com Jointly leading a seminar on the sacrament of baptism has confirmed (no, not that type of confirmation!) my suspicions as to the high level of confusion surrounding the sacrament. Contemporary theological debate has, to some extent, favoured believer's baptism over infant baptism and the numbers of parents seeking to have their infants baptised appears to [...]

Sun, 19 Sep 2010 23:36:00 +0000

Roy Cordukes wrote a new blog post: Irritations I play my accordion in a Scottish Music Group and yesterday during tea break a lady in front of where I was sitting was concerned that her friend was being put off by someone in the row I was sitting who was tapping their foot not quite in time with the music. I confess I [...]

Fri, 10 Sep 2010 23:36:18 +0000

Roy Cordukes wrote a new blog post: Part-time ministry My home church is in vacancy and on Sunday the church members will vote in a nominating committee. What has come as a bit of a shock for many of the church folk is that Presbytery is only allowing the church to have a 50% minister. This is a bit of a journey into the [...]

Roy Cordukes wrote a new blog post: Letting go! I think I will start by considering the issue of ”letting go”. Sat here in my study I am only too aware that I’m a hoarder. I’ve papers to sort and shred, bits of electronic gear, bits of old computers, just stuff that I will probably never use again, but something inside is reluctant to [...]

Mon, 16 Aug 2010 16:51:01 +0000

Alan Kimmitt wrote a new blog post: Postscript Well, we are now back in Scotland and, sadly, Malawi feels very far away. However, it is great to see friends again and the bed is more comfortable. It's interesting to see familiar things slightly differently than before. It is good to know that we no longer have only one shop which sells cheese (sometimes). [...]

Alan Kimmitt wrote a new blog post: 5/8/10 - People Well, this is it. Ten weeks in Zomba have elapsed. The lack of recent blogging has not been due to lack of activity. Things have been a little busy and competition for the laptop has been more intense now that the whole family is here. Andrew and his girlfriend, Heather, joined us a couple of [...]

Alan Kimmitt commented on the blog post 20/7/10 - Money (2) Ronald, I haven't seen any charcoal makers, but large bags of charcoal are transported on bicycles, so there are charcoal makers. The charcoal is used for cooking, being cleaner and less smoky than wood. However, it is also less efficient than wood because some of the energy is lost converting the wood to charcoal. Alan
