"You can’t pour from an empty cup."

At St Columba’s, caring for yourself—through prayer, rest, or kindness—helps you share love and hope with others. Take a moment this week to pause, breathe, and refill your cup.

Royal Moments at St Columba’s

The first sloes in the hedgerows mark autumn’s arrival.

Small signs of change remind us to pause, savour the moment, and give thanks for the beauty of God’s creation.

Rayner is absolute class. She's been a bit silly in organising her taxes, but that's not why they hate her. They hate her because she did not know her place.

Oh God no.
A huge moment -- Melvyn Bragg steps down from In Our Time after over a quarter of a century. What a programme and what a legacy! Just a model for how to make great, clever, engaging radio, and a twenty-seven-year experiment that proves there's a huge global audience for smart, scholarly programming.

Democrat @raskin.house.gov excoriates Nigel Farage for banning journalists from Reform UK events:

"I'm asking you a direct question. Why do you ban journalists who oppose your views from coming to your events? Why did you tell local government not to do interviews with your local newspaper?"
