How Rivermont Avenue Baptist Church describes their Celtic Service: The Celtic Christian Service is a mystical, contemplative service rooted in the ancient 5th and 6th Century Celtic Christian tradition. This service features ancient poetry, intentional silence, and music in the styles of the British Isles. Simplicity - lacks the emphasis on complicated rationalistic doctrine found in most of Western Christianity. Holism - refuses to separate life into the spiritual and material, the heart and head, the sacred days and workdays, etc. Modern Christians tend to compartmentalize life. Mystery - speaks to the mystical unity that arises from understanding the limitations of human knowledge. Much of the Christian subculture in America is bureaucratic, programmatic, and political. Immanence - teaches that God is present with His creation. Environment - encourages earth-keeping as a way to honor God. Equality - regards all persons as equal and erases the separation between clergy and laity, men and women, etc. Hope - looks first for good rather than for evil in all things.
