Dear Stuart,
Many thanks for the Celtic Saints. Keep them coming.
I don't know if you are aware of this, but St. Patrick's autobiography
can be found in two different versions on the Web, both in HTML. The
one I have, I am sorry to say that I can't remember the URL (it's at
someone else's site), but you can find links to it at
http://www2.csbsju.edu/~eknuth

and/or
http://www2.csbsju.edu/~eknuth/reverse.html

The other version is at Christian Classics Ethereal Library.
http://ccel.wheaton.edu/

will get you to the menu page, and just scroll down until you get to
Patrick.
Yours,
Liz Knuth

you were allright. It looks very good.

I was surprised and happy to see this Home Page. I have just finished
reading HOW THE IRISH SAVED CIVILIZATION BY Thomas Cahill and I question
some of his references to Saint Brigid of Kildare. What do you know of this
book and where can I find more information about the life of St. Brigid?
Thanks a bunch.

Re: Form posted from Mozilla

Regina,
Hi, thanks for your comments. I have only recently changed to
the grey textured backgrounds so I appreciate the feedback.
Could you give me a little more information about yourself and your
hardware?
The reason that I ask this is that my display is quite high resolution
and I am using 16 bit colours. I agree that a lighter background would
provide more contrast but on my machine even with the graphics it's
still pretty readable.
If I can narrow down the cause, then that will give me a way of
testing for this type of problem in future. For example, if you have a
low resolution display, I can try my pages from another low-resolution
machine and see if it is ok.
1) Can you tell me what is your screen resolution? e.g 640 x 480
2) How many colours can your display show?
e.g. 16, 256, 16 bit, 24 bit
3) Would White text be better? (You can override the colour setting in
the Netscape\General Preferences\Colors dialog to try this.)
4) Do you find that you have a problem with other pages or is my page
especially bad?
If you have this problem often, you might want to turn off backgrounds
and text colours off altogether (See (3) above).
The reason I am asking so many questions is that yours is only the
second request that I have had about changing the presentation of the
page. (The first, by the way, was from a blind person whose Web-reader
didn't read certain hidden text and he requested me to make the link
text visible so that he could pick it up.) Anyway, thanks again for
the feedback. I'll see what I can do.

I have looked at one of the books that I have and several postcards

Iona Community

Greetings from the University of Kentucky in Lexington, KY U.S.A.!
I came across your web pages in a search for Iona. I am interested in
learning more about the ecumenical Iona community from which you quoted
a couple of paragraphs which you said sparked your interest in Celtic
Christianity. I have some exposure to this community via one of its
members, John Bell, who was a plenum speaker at a National Pastoral Musicians
convention I attended. I was wondering if you could share any knowledge you
might have from your own experiences or anything else you might have come
across that you could refer me to. I'd appreciate any information you could
share with me.
This technology is quite amazing. I do not have an enormous amount of
experience with it and I had some problem trying to send mail from my
web browser. So, I hope that this is not a duplicate message to the one I
tried to send earlier but I think failed. If so, I apologize. It's just
amazing to me how I came across your pages and am now sending a message to
you in Japan from the United States about a community in Scotland. We truly
are becoming a global society!
Peace,

Columba

Dear Stuart,
My understanding of the Celtic Church and of Columba is that he was a
Saturday Sabbath keeper. What evidence if any do you have of this?
My conclusions are mainly based on his last words of which I am sure you
are familiar. Did he also keep the Christian Passover (Lord's Supper) on
the 14th of Nisan like the Quartodecimeni of the early church?
I would like to know your thoughts on this.

Stuart:
I teach aboriginal spirituality and its relationship to Christianity at
the University of Calgary (i.e. Native American religions, etc.)
More recently, I have been facinated by the linkages between
pre-Christian Celtic spirituality and Native Amrerican themes.
Are you aware of any discussion group (list) that deals with such things
as pre-Christian Celtic Traditions and their relationship to Christian
faith?
Thanks

Re: (no subject)

I don't know of any list that deals with this. Actually, most of the
contacts that I get are very orthodox and don't really talk/think
about the pre-christian traditions.
Is there much evidence for a pre-Christian Celtic and Native Amrerican
spiritual connection?
Anyway, best wishes with your search!

Hi, Stuart,
I'm hoping you can help supply me with some information on the Cornish
St. Petroc, whose monastery was at Padstow.
My research actually concerns an early Arthurian hero, one Bedwyr,
better known as Bedivere. In the Welsh Triads, this Bedwyr is made the
son of a Bedrawc. Given that P- and B-, as well as -d- and -t-, are
often interchangeable, it has occurred to me that Bedrawc may be a form
of the name Petroc.
While it is unlikely that Petroc is recorded as having had any children,
I thought I'd give it a shot.
Also, this same Bedwyr is inextricably linked with a Cei/Kei, the later
Cai or Kay. Cei may be a form of the Latin name Gaius. If you run
across anyone like this in the context of Petroc or his contemporaries,
please let me know.
Thank you very much.

Stuart, I've enjoyed browsing your home page. Thank you for a job well
done.
I am doing some research on the origins of the Celtic cross.
Specifically, I am picking up on a lead I got from the writings of Edward
West, who until his death three years ago was curator of Christian
symbolism at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in NYC. West says that
the Danes brought a symbol with them which is the root of the Celtic
cross. I take it he means it was a pre-Christian symbol of some sort.
Can you give me any leads?
BTW, I am also trying to gain access to West's papers to see if there is
a source reference there for this assertion.
I'd appreciate any help you might give.

'tioesteve@aol.com (Tioesteve)' wrote:
Around 400 St. Germanus assisted by a priest who was later
to be the Bishop St. Patrick, suppressed the pelagian belief
that one could be saved by one's own efforts and without
God's grace. Such a belief denied the salvific nature of
Christ's birth, life, death, and Resurrection.
St. Patrick came to Ireland in the 400s, but the Church he
founded was independent of Roman administration until 1171.
Around 800 Charlemagne suppressed the Gallican Church
of France for political reasons.
In 1171 Henry II of England suppressed the Church of Ireland
and installed Bishops obedient to Canterbury and to Rome.
One aspect of Celtic Christianity found in the surviving
documents was a certainty of the reality and unity of the
Sacraments. The Eucharist is the Body and Blood of Christ
and therefore every celebration of the Eucharist is the same
as yesterday's and tomorrow's. There was an understanding
that the Body of Christ united all Christians: past, present and
future.
Every validly concecrated Bishop was equal to every other,
regardless of city or title.
They commemorated the Western Patriarch (Pope) in the
same prayers as their own Bishops. They understood their
unity to be in the Sacraments and the Faith. They prayed
for the emperor and other worldly leaders as a sign that
all need God's grace.
The were not "politically correct": they often stated their
beliefs in blunt, uncompromising terms.
They were model Orthodox Christians.
If you want to see an example of their liturgics as
used by the Culdee communities of Lorrha and Tallacht
in the 700s look at
http://www.geopages.com/Athens/3348

Readers will note that they had their own translation
of the Creed and of Scriptures.
This is the most up-to-date version of the translation
work I have been doing.
It is as close a translation of the original as possible
and has not been rewritten to comply with modern
rewrites of Celtic Christianity.

Celtic Christianity Conference

Hi Stuart
I was reading your Celtic Christian Page and you mention about making links
to it. As I am a complete novice on the InterNet I was wondering could you
tell me how to make a link from my page to yours. I am working with European
Cultural Conferences who are organising, in association with University
College Galway, Ireland, a Celtic Christianity Conference. The Conference
is being held in UCG from the 17th to 21st June and we have a number of
excellent speakers. If you want to have a look at our page its URL address
is: http://www.biznet.ie/Celtic-Christianity

I would welcome any comments you want to make on it.
Thanks for your help.

Re: Celtic Christianity Conference

Hi,
rather than give you a lesson on HTML, I suggest that you use
your browser to examine the source of a page with links in it. If you
use Netscape it is under the View\Document Source menu. I found out
how to almost everything by seeing how other people did it. Look for
things like this:
St.Alban's Church,

If you preffer a more structered approach to learning, then look at
http://www.yahoo.com and do a search for HTML. Many people have made

excellent introductions to HTML.

St Columba

Hi Stuart:
I came across your Web page when running an Alta Vista search on St Columba.
My wife and I have been parishioners at St Columba's RC church in Chester
since moving here in '74. Last summer we visited Co Donegal, not knowing
until then that it was the birthplace of St C - so we duly made a pilgrimage
to his birthplace and to a newly-established Study Centre.
As next year is the 1400th anniversary of his death, I'm starting to
investigate how it is to be celebrated, and how our church might contribute.
The Parish has had regular visits to Iona, but none to Donegal so far.
If you're aware of any developments on the anniverary front I'd be pleased
to hear from you!
NB: I'm only an amateur on the Net, so if anything goes strange with this
email that'll be why!

Iona and Japan

Very interested in your stuff on Iona and Mull and Celtic Christianity.
I still have a relative farming on Iona and another living on Mull. I
have been in the US for almost 50 years but consider the other side of
the Atlantic as "home". Have been international banker, and more
recently Assistant Director of New York State's coastal management
program. But I now am ready to embark on new career, this time in
music. Among my many compositions but not yet published, is a fairly
nice wee tune, "Christmas on Iona" the lyrics of which I am still
working on - it is a religious piece (no Ho-Ho_Ho) but I am having
trouble working my way around the combination of the pre-Christian and
Christian in which the island is enveloped. I spoke with my cousins's
father in law, then in his eighties about how Christas was celebrated in
his youty and also spent time in the Abbey library studying some of
their collection. The point is, the lyrics have to be accurate - I will
do enough to the available facts with my poet's license but I do want
the underpinnings to be on target. If I can find it, I will send you a
the text of another short Iona piece I did which I wrote at Cornell
after reading a book on the Druids and Christianity. It juxtaposes a
veil of mist, a Druid fire, and St. Columba - just the kind of images
which Iona inspires - even when you're not there!.
I also have ties to Japan, having spent 16 months just outside Sapporo
before attending Cornell University and the University of Chicago. I am
a devotee of things and people Japanese and would like to return one day
to savor its mysteries and beauties.
All the best. Neil MacCormick in Albany, New York.

by providing an e-mail address for the island, I would be most
greatful. If not, I will write the island via the conventional

Hello Stuart
What a web site!
A local primary school and myself are hoping to create some web pages
for Holy Island, including a virtual tour and a history of the isle.
Have just asked about copyright on some of the things we want to feature
so hopefully we will get permission.
Will let you know when the site is up and will include a link to your
pages. Oh, I should say they these children are aged 10/11 years so
don't expect anything too cerebral! On saying that, I've searched the
Internet to make sure what we have planned does not exist already ...
and it doesn't!
By the way, I live in the city of Newcastle upon Tyne in the north east
of England, 60 miles from Holy Island. The Gospels are currently on
display in Newcastle until August - the first time they have been back
in the region for about 1000 years. Hope to see them very soon!

Celtic Christianity

My name is Justin Griffing. I am a follower of the Christian faith,
Baptist by denomination. I at one time was a practicing Druid but
realized the error of my ways. As such I am very interested in culdee.
Most of the pages I have found link it to Catholoicism or Orthodoxy. Is
there anyway it can be applied to Protestant beliefs. Also would you
suggest going through a druidic teaching program but giving it a
Christian point of view(hard to explain what I am thinking)

olic church. For instance: is there any sort of movement to have a Celtic rit
e approved? If you can connect me w/ any Celtic CATHOLIC (in the picky sense o
f the word) groups or people, I'll be most grateful.
Peace and Joy,
Andrea

Iona

I am of Irish Catholic descent and a graduate of Iona College in New
Rochelle, NY. Do you guys have anything to do with that college?

Re: Iona

Well, this guy, i.e me, is just interested in the Iona Community which
takes it's name from the Island of Iona where it is based. Your
college presumably takes its name from the island too...

Thanks and Some Feedback

Thanks for the materials on Celtic Christianity. For those of us who
browse in black and white (on a Macintosh Powerbook), the backgrounds
you've chosen come across quite darkly making the text difficult (in a
couple of cases impossible) to read.
I'll be back for more browsing later. This is a great page!!
Yours on the Journey Toward Shalom with Justice!
The Rev. Jeremy Edward McLeod
