Contemporary Celtic Eucharist

The purpose of the Contemporary Celtic Eucharist is to worship in an informal and communal setting by exploring the theology and spirituality of Celtic Christianity. It is not an attempt to mimic prayer and liturgies from other times and places, but to draw from the spirituality of these particular Christians. Their theology with its emphasis on the goodness of creation and humanity, appeal to many today.

The worship is contemporary because much of its energy emerges out of the experience and creativity of other worshiping community’s practices today. The style of worship remains flexible and evolving as we draw freely from alternative Anglican and ecumenical sources. We believe that worship should engage all the senses including our bodies, and so movement is an element of the worship for those who choose to enter into that experience. We believe that God’s revelation is on-going and not confined to Holy Scripture and so other voices from the Christian tradition are heard with the proclamation of the Gospel. The breaking-open of the Word is a task we share with the preacher. The service is supported by other Episcopalians and seekers in search of a spiritual home.
