Digital download: The passion which Iona still evokes, its enduring hold on the religious imagination, demands a deeper questioning than that suggested by a long-ago saint in an obscure location. At least part of the answer lies in the appeal of what has come to be known as Celtic Christianity.
Perhaps there is something in the soul of 21st-century Westerners, tied as we are to mortgages and clockwatching, to Sunday morning 11am and the routines of suburban life, that is moved by the image of wandering, free-spirited Celts, by the resonance of rock and sand and turbulent seas, and by a faith that seems rugged and passionate and essentially life-affirming.
Eternity Dipping into Time is a celebration not only of the religious history and spiritual resonances of Iona but also of the physicality of its landscape, seasons, ecology and its human story. In these Kathy Galloway shows how numerous factors come together to support a grounded and engaged spirituality that answers a longing in the human soul for something that we label as Celtic but which is also completely of today’s world.
