Fantastic! Yes, I would like to know what Celtic Christianity is in general and how you became a Celtic Christian. Also, how is it expressed in your daily life? Thank you for offering!

I had heard of but had to look up spiritual practices of Celtic Christians, in general. I found I am drawn to many of these practices unknowingly. We welcome the unpackaging of what is meaningful to you!

As far as I am aware of British church history, one of the main gripes between Celtic and Roman Catholic Christianity was the timing of Passover/Easter. The Roman Catholics demanded the Celts to change their date. So the big question for me: when do you celebrate Easter? (I have no horse in this race - I care not when anyone celebrates, or does not celebrate, Holy Week).

Fascinating substack. I love your emphasis on gardening, something I found myself wandering into myself as I found my faith stripped bare of the superfluous during our recent totalitarian purge.

"Give us this day our daily bread."

Well, bread is made from grain, and grain grows wild outside in the fields... so I guess I better be out there harvesting it ay?

Thank you so much for the fantastic questions!! They really made me think, and it was fun to answer them in today's post.

It's always a pleasure to meet another Celtic Christian, and you're right, it's not very common. Thanks so much for being here!

I Was preparing to ask some of those same questions, so

I will wait and see what else comes up when s.e. begins answer.

I have a few half- formed questions already but I can see how they might get answered once she starts writing.

A comment: if not a novel then perhaps a memoir that would include your journey. Or a novel that would allow you to describe your own experiences without identifying other people or combining a couple similar people into one character just because they said or did something meaningful to you, but you are trying to explain a larger truth.

I see that comment is also half-formed.
