I'm months ahead for my latest #LectionaryPrayers: 'Weekly Worship' is a resource from the #Church of #Scotland for #clergy, #WorshipLeaders and #preachers. July is now up- I contributed the resource for 23 July. A complete set of #prayers, plus my #commentary and reflection on all the #Bible texts- including the #Parable of the Weeds and Jacob's dream at #Bethel

Great wee film in which the late Ian Hamilton KC tells the story of how he and three other #UniversityOfGlasgow students pulled off the greatest student prank of all time- and in the conformist, royalist atmosphere of the 1950s brought home a symbol of #Scotland: the #StoneOfDestiny

Don't tell #KingCharles, but the #StoneOfDestiny is actually still in a pub near #Glasgow Uni

The Dean of #Westminster was a powerful man... Some music for the #Coronation- #Scottish folk singers Robin Hall And Jimmie MacGregor celebrated the greatest student prank of all things with "The Wee Magic Stane", a thoroughly irreverent song about the repatriation of the #StoneOfDestiny by 4 #GlasgowUni students in 1950. The #StoneOfScone is currently back at #WestminsterAbbey, on loan for the crowning of #CharlesIII.

Ha ha, they still think it's the real one! 😉
The #StoneofDestiny, has been temporarily lent to #England for #KingCharles's #coronation. Originally used to crown #kings of #Scotland, it was retrieved from #WestminsterAbbey in 1950 by #GlasgowUniversity student nationalists. #Legend also calls it "#Jacob's pillow, on which the patriarch dreamed of #heaven, a story in the #Lectionary for 23 July 2023 (#Genesis 28:10-19) for which I've written an upcoming "Weekly Worship" note for the #ChurchOfScotland website.

The #StoneOfDestiny or Stone of Scone on which King Charles wants to sit is an ancient remnants of Scottish Gaelic culture. The King of Scots was the 'father' to his tribe, not king of 'the land'.

Not surprisingly the plan to take the #StoneOfDestiny back to #London for the #coronation - which was always a part of the deal to move it back to #Scotland in 1996 - is causing some controversy.
Whilst it was the ancient place where Scottish monarchs were crowned, that stopped after 1296 when King Edward I of England took it as a spoil of war, and had it put into the Coronation chair used for English and after the Union of the Crowns British Monarchs ever since.

The son of Ian Hamilton- who with three other #GlasgowUniversity students returned the #StoneOfDestiny to #Scotland in 1950- says his father would be opposed to sending the artifact to #WestminsterAbbey for #KingCharles's #coronation. "If people want to be crowned on it they should come to Scotland and be crowned on it. I think that would be his standpoint."

I’m accessing the “International” version of the BBC website. It has an interesting article describing the theft of the Stone of Destiny by the English. Interested to hear if this story features on the UK site. I’ll not hold my breath. #StoneOfDestiny #BBCLiars #BBC

> It’s been announced that the #StoneOfDestiny will be returned for the coronation, and of course that William will become the Prince of #Wales, immediately inspiring a petition created after the #Queen’s death calling for the Royals to “end #PrinceOfWales title out of respect for Wales” which surged to 10,000 signatures over just 24 hours.
