Part One Part Two Part Three
The Longer Catechism of The Celtic Episcopal Church: The needs of persons who are seeking Chrismation through a process of Catecumenate Formation will be guided by the use of this Cathechism. This project has been a most time consuming endeavor which has taken the coordination of many skilled persons. We are pleased to provide it in PDF Format which you can either download to your computer, or you can open it from here to read it online.
HISTORICAL TIMELINE
The purpose of this monograph is to try as best we can to answer a question before it is asked by all of those persons who generally get around to asking it anyway and who are seemingly somewhat confused about what point in time we are pointing to when we say we are the Celtic Episcopal Church, Western Orthodoxy for the Third Millennium.
THE CELTIC ETHOS
A short essay on the subject with the hope that it will help in understanding the concept.
The Book of Canons is now complete. This has been a difficult and complicated project. It appears that it will be a useful document that will provide needed stucture without hindering the work of the gospel. May the Name of the Lord be praised both now and to the ages of ages. The most up to date Book of Canons can be downloaded from our Limited Access Log-In FTP site that can be entered by using our Links Page. It is a PDF document and as such should be easy to print if one is so disposed. On the other hand, if you would like to read it as an e-book, you can download it here. [if using Internet Explorer, you must right-click on this link and select "save target as ..." from the menu] Music: There is a need for our jurisdiction to have a Hymnal. Early discussions are underway to ascertain how we might be able to satisfy this requirement. As everyone knows, publishing a book is a lengthy process and is also one of the higher priced items necessary for a Church that plans on being around for at least 1000 years or until the parousia of Jesus Christ. The Hymnal of The Celtic Episcopal Church is one such project. It goes without saying, that we would be happy to receive donations toward this project. Send your donation to His Eminence, Metropolitan John in Valdosta. He can be reached using the Contact Form Page.
