Celtic
Spirituality: Soul Friend and Thin Places
Wednesday, July 10, 7:00 - 8:30 pm, Parish Library
This
evening’s presentation will examine the characteristics of Celtic spirituality,
from ancient times to the present, with special emphasis on the topics of soul
friend and thin places. Ed Sellner will describe those qualities that many
people today, of all sorts of backgrounds and religious affiliations, find
especially appealing, such as the Celtic emphasis on nature, women’s leadership
and gifts, kinship with animals, and the eternal value of friendships. Discussion among participants will be a
lively part of the evening.

theology, Saint Catherine University where he has taught graduate and
undergraduate courses for 35 years, as well as administered pastoral ministry,
