FOCUS ON: CELTIC LITURGIES In recent years there has been a rediscovery of a greener, more holistic style of which looks back to the missionaries of the old Celtic Church, such as Cuthbert, Cedd and Chad. (Chad was a bishop of Lichfield, much loved for his wisdom and gentleness who made long missionary journeys unafraid of the plague that was ravaging the land at the time. His feast was on Saturday 2 March) .

Some of these stories of the Celtic church are a little Romantic, and some practices labelled ‘Celtic’ bear little resemblance to the actual (rather strict) religious practices of the church before the Norman Conquest. Yet one of the fruits of this Celtic revival has been the emergence of liturgies and prayers from communities of Christians such as the Iona Community and the Northumbria Community, who seek to live together simply, in harmony with the earth. These prayers are often full of beauty and poetry and we will be using some of them within our Celtic Eucharist, on Mondays during Lent. The framework of the service is a Common Worship Anglican liturgy, but this framework includes plenty of opportunities to use prayers from other Christian traditions. The Eucharist will be held in the quiet chapel, and will include the opportunity for healing prayer and anointing with oil after the distribution of the sacrament for those who are ill or who would simply benefit from someone praying with them for a few minutes. This Lent I would encourage you to take the opportunity to spend a little extra time with God, experiencing the beauty of these prayers within an oasis of peace before returning to the busy world outside, refreshed and renewed.
