Druids and Heretics: Ancient Wisdom and the Climate Crisis
The Celts, who occupied present-day Ireland, Scotland and Wales, observed highly developed spiritual sensibility and religious beliefs. They had a strong sense of the supernatural and the eminence of the Gods, as well as a strong sense of the sacredness of places, particularly woods, groves, rivers and springs. We’ll explore how Celtic spirituality was absorbed by early Christianity and how Celtic Christianity became a heresy in Rome.
Suggested Reading: The Celtic Way, by Ian Bradley. Darton, Longman and Todd Ltd
Instructor: The Rev. John Day, DMin., is a retired priest who studied and taught Celtic spirituality for over 20 years and believes that recovering a sense that nature is sacred is a way to address the climate crisis.
