This collection of liturgies, prayers, and meditations inspired by traditional Celtic Christianity brings the power of an ancient tradition to life for seekers today. Produced by the Northumbria Community in northern England, this volume combines the best of sixth- and seventh-century Celtic Christian devotional writing from Ireland, Iona in Scotland, and the Holy Island of Lindisfarne with later sources to create a fresh and powerful prayer resource. Readers will discover the profound words and spiritual depth of Celtic figures Aidan, Cuthbert, and Brendan, modern voices such as C. S. Lewis and Anne Morrow Lindbergh, and the timeless words of the Psalms, as they find new ways to understand and experience the life of worship, prayer, and meditation.
Northumbria Community
Northumbria Community is a dispersed network of people, hugely diverse, from different backgrounds, streams and edges of the Christian faith. As Companions in Community, we are united in our desire to embrace and express an ongoing exploration into a new way for living, through a new monasticism, as Christians that offers hope in our changed and changing culture. We are A Way to express The Way and acknowledge there are many other valid expressions of the desire to follow Jesus Christ in today’s world.
