Prayers
for this Week
·
For
the victims of all manner of violence, inflicted by strangers they have never
met, or even intimate partners and loved ones
·
For
those struggling to come to terms with themselves and their identity (in every dimension
that word engages!)
For those struggling to make ends meet, those who have
just given up trying, and those endeavouring to help, somehow, some way
·
For
those who find it so hard to reach out, and find themselves praying the letters
so that God can make the words!
·
-Thanks, as always, to everyone for your continued support
of the work and ministry of our congregations!
Robert Burns (1759-1796)
Robbie Burns was a
poet and lyricist. He was born in Alloway, Ayshire He is often considered to be
the national poet of Scotland. Some of his poems are also songs, some of the
more well-known songs include: Auld Lang Syne, Scots Wha Hae, and A Man’s a Man
for A’ That (the tune for which is played to pipe in the haggis). He wrote in
both Scots and English. He only lived to be 37, but fathered 12 children (five
of whom survived infancy).
The Scots Language
Scots is one of the
three languages spoken in Scotland along with English and Gaelic. Scots is a
Germanic language, that diverged from Middle English. It is the closest language
to English and is theoretically mutually intelligible with English, while the
grammar is the same as English, there are many words that are unrecognizable.
Scots has only recently gained widespread acceptance. The langue was for a long
time in many parts of Scotland persecuted because it was felt by many to be bad
English. The exception to this of course was Robbie Burns Day when it was
celebrated. It is mostly spoken in Scotland (primarily in the Lowlands and
Northern Isles) and Northern Ireland
