Restoring the woven cord

In recent years there has been growing interest in Celtic spirituality. The Celtic Church was the first successfully to evangelise the British Isles. But what can it teach the Christian Churches today? And how can its message be applied in local situations? Taking a number of important strands that make up the Christian faith, Restoring the Woven Cord examines how each strand was expressed in the life and witness of the Celtic Church. In true Celtic tradition, Michael Mitton uses story as his primary medium. Each chapter begins with the story of one of the Celtic saints - Aidan, Columba, Brigid and many others - which is then interpreted for the Church today. The reader is helped to apply the message by an appropriate Bible study, a prayer and questions for reflection. Themes include the Bible, children, community, creation, death, evangelism, healing, the ministry of women, prayer, prophecy and spiritual warfare, and, again in keeping with the Celtic spirit, each chapter is accompanied by a drawing to illustrate its theme.
