It’s a pleasure to announce we’re now fully operational and ready to help you explore this spirituality which so powerfully represents that of the Early Irish {“Celtic”} Christians who pioneered the faith in this land. The Early Irish Christians went about the land speaking to people of the meaning and significantce of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. To all intents and purposes we can suggest it was a smooth transition; there was something about this new faith which made sense from the perspective of the old religion of the people. Ireland is perhaps the only place where this can be said; after all, there are no Early Irish martyrs. Recent academic research suggests that whilst St Patrick successfully introduced the Faith into the northern regions of this island, in the southern areas it was already growing because of the influences brought by trade from the eastern Mediterranean where what we now call the Orthodox tradition was nascent. There are striking similarities between the Early Irish form of Christianity and that or the Desert Tradition. It can be argued that this suggests the native Irish insight into the presence of the Divine in the landscape and experiences of the ordinary people is still present deep down in the Irish people who can show the ‘westernised’ world a more holistic approach to faith.
We hope to draw that to the surface level of consciousness within people of faith in this land.
