Abstract
The Celtic monastic movement lasted hundreds of years and is responsible for much of the spread of Christianity to the West. Much of the movement’s success can be attributed to the Celtic Christians’ understanding of the importance of the role of creative culture and order as well as an openness and responsiveness to the leading of the Holy Spirit. It is these three things working in tandem that influenced the success of the Celtic monastic movement. Although the movement ended a thousand years ago, it can offer guidance and wisdom for carrying out ministry today. A case study of Cuirim Outreach will be discussed and conclusions drawn as to what can be learned from the Celtic Christians concerning modern ministry. Cuirim Outreach is creative, modern day expression of many of the same ideas that drove the Celtic monastic movement.
