On Sunday mornings of the 7th and 14th Feb the BBC are broadcasting their 'New Every Morning' from St Peters. It is a half hour service which would normally have a reading, a short sermon, prayers and singing from a CD. However when they asked us to do it we asked if we could record some of our 'live' worship. I think that they humoured us, thinking that the recording quality would not be that good and they would not be able to use it. However they did not reckon on our very own Colin Mackay, one of whose many talents is recording.

Communion - Rev. Fergus MacDonald, former president of United Bible Societies.

Plus cc change, plus c'est la meme chose. The Haitian earthquake has been a dreadful start to the New Year - just as the Asian Tsunami was in 2004. Whilst most human beings have a reaction of compassion and want to start giving and helping as soon as possible, others see an opportunity to pontificate their pet theories. So as in the Asian Tsunami Pat Robertson writes his blasphemous and dumb nonsense about God judging Haiti (apparently for rebelling against the French) and Richard Dawkins write his blasphemous and dumb nonsense about how Pat Robertson is the only true Christian and therefore this proves God does not exist (The Times - Friday the 29th). It is tragic to see how people will use human tragedy to further their own ends. Of course there are real questions and issues to be faced - although one suspects that the victims right now are more concerned about food than philosophy - so I attach an article I wrote six years ago about the Asian Tsunami. It got me in a lot of trouble then, and it has often been quoted back at me, but, although there are one or two things I would change, I stand by it. I am thankful that in the midst of death and destruction, the Christian, unlike the atheist, still has hope of a renewed heavens and a renewed earth. So read on for the original article. But first here is a copy of the letter I sent to The Times about Dawkins blasphemous and irrational rant.

Your love is better than wine” " Song of Songs chapter 1 (David Robertson)
