Crowded

We’re off tomorrow morning to Krakow.  I can’t say I’m looking forward to the visit to Auschwitz but it is obligatory.

It’s been busy these last few days.  I went visiting facilities for the homeless in Perth with CATH.  It was one of those moments when I saw people doing a job which I simply could not do.  Not enough patience or resilience these days.

And on to the Institution of Kimberly in St Mary’s, Dunblane.  It was one of those good moments – to see a priest with great potential beginnning a ministry in a congregation of great potential.  Kelvin preached a warm sermon beautifully expressed – about encounter.  And people felt that a new and exciting chapter had begun.

Today has seen the launch of Casting the Net in all of our churches across the diocese.  It’s taken a while to get here and we are working hard to keep up with expectations.  But it was a good moment.  I was in St Mary’s, Birnam.  We had nets and fish and fish-shaped cakes and there were children and there is hope.
