Well done wife, and thanks to all
It has been a rather exhausting and anxious couple of months here, but with a very happy outcome: my wife Kate heard last week that she has made it through the Scottish selection panel for ordination to the Scottish Episcopal Church.
Kate has alluded to it on her blog, and will be writing about it shortly. I’d like to say thank you to all who have provided support and advice to her over through the selection process, and prior to that, when she was trying to discern whether or not this was the right move.
It’s not quite over yet: she has to attend another selection weekend in England in the next couple of months or so, but I understand that the great majority of those who are recommended by the Scottish panel get through England as well. The whole thing is very exciting: we both love the Church and the message it bears, and I’m looking forward to supporting Kate in whatever form her ministry takes.
I realise this blog has been silent of late. With the selection process in the background, and a very heavy web design workload, with a dash to complete a slew of projects before taxes are due in July, I’ve been preoccupied and haven’t had much to say. I want to keep blogging, but am thinking about taking it in another direction, wrapping it into a revised version of my Lucent Web Design site and making it more design orientated (though still with the occasional personal post).
Anyway, will give that more thought when time allows. In the meantime, thanks again.
Update: Kate has now written a post about it.

Oh my goodness, first Kate’s blog and now this!! Seriously, do you realise you are wreaking weepy havoc across the globe? I am so pleased for both of you.
Best of luck with coping with the end of year workload and many congratulations to both of you for surviving Scottish Selection!
