Primal Christianity

Celtic Christianity, with its emphasis on the living presence of God in creation, speaks with clarity to today's busy urban world, where people have largely lost touch with the soil, the land, the rhythm of the seasons and the sacred simplicity of everyday tasks. A sense of rootedness and belonging are essential to growth and relationships today, and in the course of giving seminars and leading retreats around the world, Esther de Waal has discovered amazing resonances between Celtic Christianity, native American religion, Aboriginal and African spirituality. In an exploration of these ancient traditions, de Waal finds much to enrich and inflame Christian faith today. She is the author of "Seeking God" and won the Templeton Award in 1990.
