It seems always to have been there. Legend tells us that Irish bards attended the events on Golgotha \"in the spirit.\" In the Celtic tradition, there is a continuity in cosmic process.

In this sense, Christianity was always in Ireland, and we seek its historical beginning in vain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf the Celtic Church had survived, perhaps the fissure between Christianity and nature, widening through the centuries, would never have fragmented our Western attitude toward nature and the universe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Bamford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lindisfarne Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/1987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.38h x 5.43w x 0.39d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780940262072\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBamford, Christopher:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChristopher Bamford\u003c\/b\u003e (1943-2022) was born in Cardiff, South Wales, and lived for a while in Hungary and then in Scotland.
