Many
elements of Celtic spirituality pre-date Christianity, but at its
heart is a deep love for God. Celtic spirituality seeks to experience
the sacred in all things, celebrate the harmony of Creation, and
guide the person to find his or her spiritual center in Christ. It
is panentheistic, incarnational, and transcendental. Its ancient
traditions stirs the hidden memories of the soul and the heart’s
longing for peace, connectedness, and renewal. Its mystical nature
leads us to the thin places where we can peer into other worlds and
realize that we are always moving toward God.
We are living in a time of fear and uncertainty, economic
turmoil, environmental destruction, political conflict, and religious
polarization. It seems that we are in an apocalyptical age, not unlike
many that our forebears experienced. But we look forward in hope.
In Celtic Christianity we may find healing for ourselves, for our
brothers and sisters who share life with us, and for all the earth.
This section will include articles and reflections
on the Celtic soul. In addition, there are sermons that were preached
at an annual Celtic worship service at the church I served. More
will be added from time to time.
