CLERGY AND MINISTRIES IN INTERCOMMUNION WITH THE REFORMED CELTIC CHURCH

The known world ended North and West of Hadrian’s Wall.  It was the end of civilization.  Beyond were fierce tribes of barbaric tongue, living in a land of harsh beauty.  A message took root in the wind-swept land of Gaelic-speaking Celts, lasting 1200 years.

Sand as white as snow
Swirls like smoke around my feet
And a sky that turns in a moment
From blue to grey
All these things I see
On a Celtic day

It is here that time has granted
That the light
Should still burn on
It was here a seed was planted
In the brave heart of a Celtic son

Here before my time
Walked men of faith and truth
In a land that was dark
They followed the way
Bringing sweet light
On an Celtic day

It is here that time has granted
That the light
Should still burn on
It was here a seed was planted
In the brave heart of a Celtic son

Here I kneel upon this ground
Love can heal
When truth is found

~”Irish Day” by Iona (slightly modified)

Eight centuries displaced these Celts far from that Wall into a Celtic Diaspora, yet in the hearts of a few Celtic Sons and Daughters the seed remained and the light burned on.  Now, 800 years removed from Her glory, that ancient Church is reborn; not as an institution of doctrine, dogma, and hierarchy, not as a religious organization bound by canon law, but as a spiritual organism united by the Truth of Jesus Christ and sharing, as soul-friends, in His healing Love.  ~ Taoiseach +Thomas Faulkenbury (Reformed Celtic Church)
