The Amalarius Blog

Our Rector has a Blog entitled Amalarius in which he shares his thoughts on liturgy, history and religion. These are his own views and do not necessarily represent the position of Holy Cross or the Scottish Episcopal Church. Here are some posts:

  • ‘The Old is Good’ (Luke 5.39) : Mission with Ancient Liturgies
    06/12/2022

  • Taking communion like Judas: the end of the pandemic and the restoration of the common cup
    17/10/2022

  • Divine messy humanity: The Circumcision of Jesus, 1 Jan 202303/01/2023
    + ‘After eight days had passed, it was time to circumcise the child; and he was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb’. In the 1930s Oswald Mosley’s fascist blackshirts were a strong presence in Bristol. A young vicar, Mervyn Stockwood, annoyed […]
  • What is Christianity really about? : a sermon for Advent 423/12/2022
    + ‘Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son and you will call him Jesus’. How would you sum up Christianity? What is it really about? Is it […]
