Listening within creation ~ Eriugena

Celtic Church different from the western church.  Marriage was allowed with priests , women were able to learn of the Bible.  This seems to be largely because of how the Celtic Church grew itself from Celtic mythology combined with Catholicism.  Some of this also came from the Eastern Orthodoxy.



Combining the Celtic mythology with Catholicism means interesting things like keeping the goddess Brigid but changing her form.



This chapter covered the combination of religions, the history Celtic Christianity.  The choice between Catholicism and the Catholic Church.  It seems almost sad the Celtic Church was almost forgotten by the choice of Catholicism.



The prayers in this chapter was so beautiful, the Beauty and the simplicity pull at my heart.
