    Any Philip Newell fans in here?

    I also read his 'Book of Creation' and enjoyed it very much and have just finished 'Christ of the Celts' which was also a very good read.

    Any Philip Newell fans in here?

    Books about Celtic Christianity. He's a Church of Scotland clergyman, he was on Iona for a good while. I've found all his books great but 'Listening for the Heartbeat of God' is my favourite. He also produced a book of daily prayers that I especially admire.

    What about the Vestry?

    I want to get involved with the church a lot more. I think in the future I might want to become involved in some type of ministry. I've started doing some readings and I want to do more. The Easter General Vestry meeting is coming up and the registry of vestry members is going to be updated at...

    Why not Rome?

    The RC church is too narrow rigid and hierarchical for me. Even if I could accept that, if I were RC, the current scandals would push me into the Anglican Church.

    This is really making me angry!

    I agree with you. Archbishop Martin in Dublin offers light to Catholics in this dark hour I believe. And it is a very dark hour. In swearing to silence children who had been raped the Primate of Ireland, as a priest, directly facilitated the rape of other children. It is rotten disgusting and I...

    Turkey is part of Europe. Fear keeps it out of the EU

    Turkey's welcome to join the EU as far as I'm concerned. Wish we in Ireland could leave it.

    Is God calling me?

    Knowing God and living in the world are not incompatible imo. Is God calling you? - only you can decide. I know that feeling you're talking about. I was very sick a year and a bit ago. I nearly passed on. In the middle of one night I was in big trouble. For the second time that day. Doctors and...

    Things you think are beautiful ! (5)

    Wild weather. Stormy seas and clouds racing across the moon. Raging skies. High mountains and big drops. Living.

    What do you think about 'the fall'?

    I was reading a passage from Genesis earlier and was wondering about 'the fall'. When I was a child I was very devout, I loved God and doubt wasn't even on the horizon. As I grew I seperated from God to the point where I no longer believed in Him at all. I could remember the Garden of Eden, but...

    Celtic Christianity Today - On Line Survey

    I find that Celtic Christianity as presented by Newell fits me like a glove. I use the prayer book he put together every day. Nature as theophany is an idea that grabs me. On a high mountain or a wild Atlantic shore I experiene the immediacy of God. I can feel Him closer to me than my breath...
