Dr Wylie In his “History of Scotland” said: 
“It was the Culdee lamp that burned at Constance,
at Basle, at Ypres, at Worms and Mainz. Boniface, the emissary of
Rome, came afterwards to put out these lights. The real apostle
of the provinces was the Culdee Church.”
 
The subject of Celtic Church itself is a vast area of interest around the world. Tens of thousands of inspiring articles and pages circulate on the internet just as it relates things “Celtic”. Many of these articles, as it relates to the Celtic Church, are on our website www.CelticOrthodoxy.com.
Most agree that the earliest Christian priests of the Celtic lands were called Culdees. In most recent years still the estates of Culdees passed to our House of O’Neill heirs whether in Scotland, Ireland or abroad. Culdees (whether in name or spirit) continue on as part of the structure various Cathedral and Monastical establishments. Although typically a Prior or Abbot of the Culdees are Independent, answerable to no jurisdiction, the secular laws protected the property handing down to hereditary heirs (as per Jaimeson’s and other historical works document). Finally Bishop Ussher the Anglican Primate of Ireland, Archbishop of Armagh, under British Royal Decree to reinstate all Culdees, documented their graves and names of buildings, and Streets surrounding his Patriarchate. Although many died in the wars of resistance, he gained a compromise from the Chief of the O’Neills. All the Culdee hereditary institutions were then recognized to be within the lawful possession of the Irish Primate of the Orthodox British.
Ever since, the Culdee continue on at least as Priors/Teachers and Choir. At Armagh the Priors often raised to the highest rank in the church, or held influence of every stature of the land. So the Culdees would remain within the hidden intrigue of what it means to be “Celtic” as felt around the world.
 
Note: From BC times Ireland was called “little Britain” the the people of Ireland tribally called “Scots”. Hibernia itself, like the word Britain are Hebrew words having to do with being a covenant tribe of Israel. Britain means Covenant People in Hebrew. Hibernia means Hebrew.
 
Although the protections of our church were more wide ranging in ancient times, still we have sovereign protections (through various means) continuing today for our Orthodox Celtic ethnic minority communities. While our identity and culture is strongly attacked, God has provided us ways forward.
 
The rank of our church (for example at Glastonbury, where Armagh Primates traditionally retired) has remained an institution comparable to Constantinople (or higher) for the true Orthodox world. It was four times larger, and had many more Apostles and Saints buried there. Long before the Great Schism our British(Celtic) Abbots and Bishops would freely consecrate, co-consecrate and receive consecrations from other jurisdictions such as the Patriarchates of Jerusalem and Constantinople (as one church). Till the last few centuries, the Black Friar communities of Armagh Ireland (Hereditary Coarbs), as protected by the O’Neills, were an example of the continuity of Culdee independence. Today’s thriving order of Benedictine monks (which merged with Culdees long ago) are another example of how an order who existed before the great schism, continues today as being wholly Orthodox in the West. Culdees typically hold more orthodox compliancy credentials than typical orthodox. 
 
Our unbroken succession of priests (within numerous orders) as Culdee priests, continue in unbroken traditions of the Celtic First Century church, as affirmed in official celebrations of our Celtic Saints around the world. Iona Scotland and Glastonbury England, as well as the numerous institutes listed in the Welsh Pedigrees of Saints, are other examples of our continuity from the original Israelite Apostles. The most inspiring official documentaries on lives of the Celtic Saints, demonstrate the enduring nature and strength of our Independent Celtic church of the Culdees that permeated in every age and is within our BCP liturgy and practices today. 
 
All of England celebrates King Arthur’s burial place at the Culdees’ Glastonbury Abbey. We also celebrate Emperor Constantine’s Maternal Grandfather King Cole buried at Glastonbury. These had founded a long line of our Celtic Kings who continued to defend our church independence, as unto this present day. Several Irish Coarbs of Armagh (the Primates of the Irish church) would hand it off to one of their family heirs, and leave Ireland to finish their ministries as Abbots of the Glastonbury Abbey. Finally the Saxon Kings were some of the greatest protectors of Glastonbury Abbey where it remained in greater size (and arguably more visited and in more grandeur than) Constantinople’s Cathedral. It remained regarded as such by the West at least until it’s destruction by King Henry VIII, and the successors built a new Glastonbury in America at the height of American Christian governance.
 

There are many well known leaders of our early schools, such as Saint Patrick and Saint Columba, and even Christ’s Uncle Joseph of Arimathea, och andra första århundradets heliga som ledde Storbritannien, like St. Aristobulus, St. Andrew, St. Paul, and St. Philip [some of the most ancient forefathers of the Celtic Orthodox Church]. We have a list of nearly 1,000 more Celtic British Saints who led the church centuries before the Roman Saxon St. Augustine came to England.

It was recorded before Augustine came, St Columba had Saxons in his school at Iona, namely Genereus and Pilu as recorded by Adamnan. The Culdees weren’t exclusive to themselves, but had set up great missions to Europe(ie Luxeuil and St Gall and 83 other major establishments). The Roman historian Bede  had also praised the Celts’ outreach and integration of their neighboring kindred tribes. 

Our Culdean Saint Cummian, who lived a few years after Columbanus, wrote: “What can be deemed worse of a Mother Church than that we should say: Rome goes astray, Jerusalem goes astray, Antioch goes astray, only the Irish and Britons know what is right.” (Cummian, Ad Segienum, Huensen Abbatem.)

On the Continent numerous of our Early Culdean Saints are honored:

150 early Culdee Missionaries are honored in Germany, 45 in France, 30 in Belgium, 13 in Italy, 8 in in Norway and Iceland, to say nothing of other places and Saints of whom mention is made in the British Martyrology.
In the early period of the church, the Culdees are renown for having already founded 12 monasteries in England, 13 in Scotland, 7 in France, 16 in Bavaria, 15 in Rhoetia, Germany and Switzerland, 10 in Alsace, 7 in Lorraine, 12 in Armorica and 6 in Italy.

This church and the many Saints have brought us all much encouragement and inspiration in Christ. Most of all we see what a wonderful God we serve, that our God, the God of Israel, is a true and living God who honors His covenants with His bride called Christian Israel.

It was actually from the time of Jeremiah the Prophet that the Irish Celtic church began to take hold. His dated grave remains part of the history of Ireland today. He had successfully transplanted the Kingdom of Israel to the British Isles, just as God had foretold to him. David’s literal throne is a part of Irish, Scottish and English history that is known as the stone of scone. The many Hebrew practices remaining so long in the Celtic lands bears witness to this Israelite heritage. – His Eminence ++ Rev Dr. Stephen M.K. Brunswick ThD, PhD, Primace, OCC.

Det täcker en uppsjö av bevis på att den keltiska kyrkan höll kostlagarna, högtiderna och sabbaterna.

Den keltiska kyrkan var hebreisk och ortodox

Den keltiska kyrkan som ockuperade Irland, Skottland och Storbritannien hade de syriska (bysantinska) skrifterna istället för den latinska vulgaten i Rom. Den keltiska kyrkan, med Waldenser och östra imperiet, höll den sjunde dagen sabbat.
 
De hundratals ortodoxa heliga i Storbritannien före schism bär det starkaste vittnesbördet om dessa fakta. Today the Eastern churches still venerate most of these. For Britain alone we have cataloged 130 official Saints of Britain who pre-dated Augustine. When counting all the Celtic lands that number is over 1,000 pre-Augustine Celtic Saints. An example of the most popular pre-schism Orthodox Saints of England can be found online on such sites as: http://www.oodegr.co/english/istorika/britain/British_Saints.htm.
 

Hebreisk keltisk lag

 Inte bara använde den keltiska kyrkan en syrisk bysantinsk bibel, utan de var mer framgångsrika när det gäller att bevaka hela YAHWEHs lag.
 
Ett exempel på den hebreiska keltiska lagen är Lieber ex Lege Moisi.
Liber ex Lege Moisi distribuerades av Saint Patrick och hans efterträdare i varje keltisk kyrka, vare sig i England, Skottland eller Irland.
 
Sammanfattning av innehållet:
1. Den sjunde dagen sabbat.
2. Slaveri och förhållandet mellan mästare och tjänare
3. Olika kapitalbrott.
4. Ersättning i pengar av ”slag” för olika brott.
5. Djurbrott mot person och egendom.
6. Djur som används som mat, rena och orena och slaktande.
7. Sex och äktenskap.
8. Kvinnlig hygien.
9. Tienden, förstfödda, löften och erbjudanden av alla slag.
10. Rättvisa, mutor, vittnen, överlåtelse och räntor.
11. Flyktstäder, asyl och gästfrihet.
12. Trollkarlar och nekromancy och mänskliga offer.
13. Arv och sabbatsår och jubileumsår, skulder.
14. Sevärdheter från en sann profet.
15. Förbannelse och välsignelse.
 
Detta låg till grund för troen från de keltiska kristna.
 
Adamnanens regler accepterade att människor kunde äta det orena svinet, men inte om det var för fett. Grisarna måste vara magra.
Columbas dietvanor beskrevs tydligt som att de avstod från kött och öl. (se "Old-Irish Life of Columba" eller "Amhra Chulimb Chille".)
 

 

We are the ancient British Orthodox and Celtic church of God. We are Anglican Orthodox, as under bishops in canonical succession within our communion. If you’d like to learn more about our Anglo Celtic faith, write to marshalofsalem@yahoo.com

För enkelhetens skull kallar vi oss Culdees 'kyrka, eller ortodoxa kyrkan. Överväg att gå med oss. 

Jes 58:12 “Och de som kommer från dig ska bygga de gamla ödeläggen; du skall bygga upp grundarna i många generationer; och du skall kallas, reparatorn av brottet, återställaren av vägar att bo på.“
