This Sunday's Adult Education: Celtic Prayer


Come learn of pirates and nuns, slaves and blue-faced warriors, and the prayer and worship tradition that they helped to create. This Sunday and next, following the 10:30 liturgy and lasting a scant 45 minutes, we will offer the following:

February 1st and 8th
Celtic Prayer
This two-Sunday series continues our Epiphany 2007 discussion of Celtic spirituality by examining how the pre-Roman style of prayer informed the Roman Catholicism that would invade the British Isles and continues to influence and direct Anglican prayer in the 21st century. It will include prayers written by and for the various saints and holy men and women of the Celtic church, as well as examine their theological and historical foundation. Of particular concern will be how to restore aspects of Celtic spirituality in our personal and parish prayers and liturgical offerings.
