CELTIC SPIRITUALITY: A Journey into Sacred Living

That early Irish Christian spirituality and practice is often misunderstood and misappropriated does not negate the fact that it has much to teach us today. This retreat will look at five main areas of Celtic spirituality: pilgrimage, spiritual companionship, “thin places,” penance and monasticism in order to situate them in their historical setting with an eye towards adapting them for our own personal spirituality.

Presenter: REV. DR. GREG PETERS Obl. OSB is an oblate of Valyermo, an Associate Professor of Medieval and Spiritual Theology at Biola University, La Mirada, CA, and the Servants of Christ Research Professor of Monastic Studies and Ascetical Theology at Nashotah House Theological Seminary in Wisconsin. As an Anglican priest, he serves as Rector of the Anglican Church of the Epiphany, also in La Mirada. He is the author of Reforming the Monastery: Protestant Theologies of the Religious Life, The Story of Monasticism: Retrieving an Ancient Tradition for Contemporary Spirituality and The Monkhood of All Believers: The Monastic Foundation of Christian Spirituality.
