Frequently Asked questions

1. Where does Celtic Christianity Come from? 

 Celtic Christianity is a form of Christianity that was common, or held to be common, across the Celtic-speaking world during the Early Middle Ages. Some writers have described a distinct Celtic Church uniting the Celtic Peoples and distinguishing them from adherents of the Roman Church, while others classify Celtic Christianity as a set of distinctive practices occurring in those areas. 

2. Is Celtic Christianity Pagan?

Celtic Christians are followers of Jesus Christ. By definition those who choose to follow Jesus would not fall under the modern definition of Pagan. However the Celtic Church aligns culturally with some Pagan practices, specifically Druidism, in its love of nature and the need for natural balance. Where many Pagans would see the Gods of the rock, river and trees, the Celtic Christian see's The Triune God in the rocks, rivers and trees. Specifically some of the religious practices of the ACC in America have come from Paganism. While we honor our ancestors and respect the Pagan way of worship, we worship the Triune God.

3. What denomination is Celtic Christianity

We have no denomination and have few dogmatic requirements of followers. The independence of worship and practice is important to the Celtic Christian. We follow the 7 Tenets. One can be a Celtic Christian in any denomination, however the denominations in the west will usually reject our teaching and not want members to adhere to our beliefs. We are a community, not a denomination of rules.

4. Is Celtic Christianity a Closed Practice?

No. Celtic Christianity is an open practice, and has no requirment of "Celtic blood" in order to participate in the life, community or practices of the faith. While we honor and respect indigenous closed practices, we ourselves are not closed. This is due mainly to the understanding of Celtic peoples being the originators of many of our religious practices, but not our faith. 

5. How can I join?

Since we have no roster or physical church, you may join when you please and leave when you please. We dont keep a tally. We only wish to come alongside when needed and be a partner on your journey with Christ. Simply Contact Us on the contact page and we will begin sharing resources with you. We hope to start communities soon

6. Can I become ordained?

Simply the answer is yes, but we do not just hand out online ordination. Ordination and consecration will take study and dedication. It is free but not something that can be completed in a few days or weeks. Contact us and ask us to learn more!

7. Do Celtic Christians Believe the Bible is the Inerrant Word of God?

The ACC does not mandate the belief of inerrancy or the Bible being the exact words of God. However, ordained Priests in the ACC must ascribe to multi-vocality and that Christ is the only "word" of God described in the New Testament.
