LITURGICAL COMMUNITIES

The Order's Ministries and  Communities all worships by means of a variety of liturgical ceremonies.  The word "liturgy" is based on a Greek word meaning, "the work of the people."

Liturgical worship takes the form of set ceremonies, which contain such elements as prayers, readings, and gestures, which are sometimes spoken by the celebrant, sometimes by the people, and sometimes by all.

Sometimes liturgical elements are chanted or sung rather than spoken.  Sometimes these chants are accompanied by musical instruments-other times the voices themselves are the only instruments.

Liturgical worship enables all the participants to be on the same page, and to truly direct their hearts and minds in the same direction, as one collective.

Our liturgies reflect a Celtic Christian style of prayer and are simple, yet rich. Our liturgies include original material along with material published by Northumbrian Community.

Besides observing weekly Sunday services, we also observe the traditional Celtic Feasts of Samhain, Imbolc, Beltane, and Lughnasadh.  We hold special outdoor rituals, called groves, on these occasions.  The rituals reflect the style common among Celtic Christian revival groups.

If you're curious about just what a Celtic flavored service is like, contact us and we will put you in contact with one our ministries and communities in your area, if not we can help you by forming your own community under our care.
