The Celtic Christian tradition is enjoying a resurgence. Some see it as an alternative to the imperial Christianity that emerged from the Roman Empire, since Ireland was never colonized by Rome. Holistic, creation-centered, and mystical, Celtic Christianity also has striking resonance with Indigenous spiritual traditions. Come dip your toe into this ancient spiritual stream with Pr. Janet Parker, who recently returned from a pilgrimage to Ireland with Pastor Robyn. Explore the Celts’ reverence for creation, the life of St. Brigid, and Celtic values of hospitality, compassion, and respect for women’s leadership. Pastor Janet will also introduce several Celtic spiritual practices for everyday life. We will start at the labyrinth at 6:30 pm for an introduction, then move indoors to the entry hall. RSVP to Pastor Janet.
