2.0 out of 5 stars
Not very close to Orthodox Christianity after all.,
By
This review is from: A Little Book of Celtic Prayer: A Daily Companion and Guide (Paperback)
In the introduction Duncan says that the Celtic religion is the religion of the mind in the heart, and therefore it resembles Eastern Orthodox Christianity. Unfortunately this book is iconoclastic, and therefore not recommendable for Orthodox - Celtic or Eastern alike. From page 5, "Believe direct in the King of elements, Put behind thee ikon-worship". The Orthodox do *not* worship images, but believe that the veneration of Holy Icons will be translated to the one depicted on the Icon. Those who refuse to venerate the Holy Icons were anathemized by the One and Undivided Church in 843AD. Perhaps Duncan is not aware of this? Or perhaps he is a protestant. This is not clear from his introduction. In any case this book is useless for Orthodx - Celtic or not. The Celtic Orthodox Tradition possess a Spiritual Wealth of Holy Icons, and it is really a shame that Duncan apparently is unaware of this. 2 stars for the nice binding.
