Later this year Revd Pat Robson will be leading two Celtic Christian Quiet Days at the house:
‘An exciting and inspiring Youth movement’ Can the Celtic church inspire the young people of today?
Friday 14th April 2023
10am – 4pm
On this Quiet Day we will discuss what we consider there is in Christian spirituality for the young people of today who are seeking their own pathway to God. What is positive and what is distinctly off-putting? And we look at Celtic Christian Spirituality as a possible way forward.
Will the radical and independent nature of the early Celtic saints still appeal today?
St. Martin and the Celtic church
Tuesday 11th July 2023
10am – 4pm
As an officer in the Roman army St Martin learnt how to both lead and inspire young recruits. When he left the army and became Bishop of Tours his experience and his ability to inspire were put to good use. Young people from all over Europe flocked to hear his radical and compelling teaching. Later when the British fled in the face of the Saxon invasion and were cut off from the mainstream church, these young people seized the opportunity to re-model the church in line with Martin’s teaching and what became known as the Celtic Christian Church came into being.
The Celtic Christian Church only really existed for just over 300 years but many of its precepts are still important to the British people.
During the day we will look at the history in the context of the period and we will explore its importance in the hearts and minds of the people of today.
