CELTIC MISSION Then and Now

c. 650 AD

ROMAN MISSION Pope Gregory I (540-604) Augustine (? - 604) order in chaos mission not maintenance the evangelistic monastery Augustine (? - 604) arrived 597 with 40 monks converted king – used ruined church 10,000 baptised by 598

ROMAN MISSION Success – 597 Canterbury/London/Rochester Failure – 616 change of king – persecution: only Canterbury left Success – 625+ Paulinus in midlands Failure – 633 Penda kills Edwin - only SE left (still Abp of Canterbury)

ROMAN Principles Top down Monastic - Benedictine Aimed at positions of power Copied Rome Centralised administration Theodore (602-669-690) Vigorous Theologically Augustinian

CELTIC MISSION Mission to Ireland/ SW Scotland/ Wales Ninian (c.400) Palladius (c.435) Patrick (c.470) Dyfrig (c.500) Mission to Picts/Anglo-Saxons Columba (d.597) Aidan (d.651) etc Mission to Continent Columbanus (d.615)

Peregrinati the Celtic wanderers Iceland, Poland, Kiev, Taranto.... settle...farm...pray...evangelise form new monastery set off again

The Three Pilgrimages 1. To wander and waste time 2. To want to go on pilgrimage but be stopped by responsibilities 3. To leave your country for Christ (Book of Lismore 15 C)

CELTIC Structure Initially normal diocesan pattern Dual monasteries Change to Monastic pattern - 6C abbots ruled monasteries monk bishops main evangelists Revert to diocesan pattern - 8C

CELTIC principles Community based Theologically non-Augustinian Pelagian ? Monasteries self-governing abbots chose successors?? Leaders are evangelists Strict discipline (Penitentials) Charismatic

COMMUNITY ‘The Invisible Monastery’ Paul Couturier A monastery has: People committed to each other Common standards of life Times to meet together for worship

The Missionary Monastery Danger: retreating into the ‘safety zone’ The Outward/Inward pulse of natural breathing Examples of Missionary communities – Augustine, the Celts, Francis, the Jesuits, Taize, Lee Abbey, Scargill etc. etc.

Missionary Communities 1. The Spiritual Community Meeting the spiritual explorations of non-Christians Teaching them to pray Helping them to Jesus Leading them into full discipleship

Missionary Communities 2. The Incarnational Community Serving the community in a geographical area Danger of becoming an amenity ‘on tap’ The traditional missionary model

Missionary Communities 3. The Network Community The homogeneous community of the like-minded ministering to an area of existence The importance of the para-church The danger of introspection/self-satisfaction

Missionary Communities 4. The Focused Community Serving some Christian aim (in broadest sense) Working together to bring Christ through social action, education, the healing ministry Danger of forgetting the essential foundation

Missionary Communities 5. The Evangelistic Community Evangelism is the sole aim of the community It should be foot-loose and light-footed (Luke 10) The dangers of exhaustion/triumphalism etc.

What is Church? Not to be restricted to the ‘incarnational model’ All forms of Christian community should be called ‘church’ with all that means of support prayer spiritual and financial accountability intercommunication etc.

Quote ‘Second millenium denominationalism will become Third millenium monasticism’ Martyn Atkins

THEOLOGY Celts pre-Augustine (354-430) + Luther, Calvin etc. temptation external world good though spoilt human element in salvation predestination uncertain unsophisticated sacramental – St John favourite gospel Pelagian????? Orthodox ??????

EVANGELISM Living among people – especially rulers Preaching Baptising Discipling – education for all Centred on monastery Bishop led

The CHARISMATIC They expected: God to be active Miracles Healing Personal guidance God to work through them To confront evil – spiritual warfare

WHY did it die out? ? attraction of authority ? decline of monasteries ? lack of leadership ? the big battalions won ? pressure towards unity ? too chaotic ? impact of political events (e.g. tribal warfare, Vikings)

Why is Celtic Christianity attractive today?
