Well,

What about the lightning strike on York Minster some years ago?

I seem to remember the provost had some interesting comments to make on that incident

I’ll leave interpretation open, GadgetVicar. So much more chance for dialogue that way.

Oh, don’t worry, I saw the exclamation mark. I knew you were joking.

There’s a frightening number of people involved in all kinds of religion who really do believe in acts of God happening like that.

I’ve no doubt where any thunderbolts are likely to land – the largest spire in the locality.

It took about eight years for St Mary’s to install a new noticeboard. I fear it is sometimes easier to build a new building than to replace a church noticeboard.

Er….the title of the post was a wee joke at our own expense – we’ve been talking for a long time about replacing the sign, and have procrastinated….and the post is about a sign, hence ‘It’s a sign!’. A so-called ‘act of God’ has now forced our hand. We’ll be getting a shiny new sign.

Now if that gets blown over………..?

Come on, surely you would expect St Silas’ folk to believe that God would show his disapproval of us with at least a thunderbolt or something?

What third option do you have in mind, Kimberly?

Now you see, if I were a member of St Silas’, I might have a third option in mind…

Surely Aberdeen has a right to believe in Providence, given that the theological climate (not to mention the TISEC curriculum) has worked to much in their favour of late.
