I know all about your bent towards violence and am not surprised that it has been passed on to your son! What a guy! What a Celt! Jon asked about Celtic Christianity, the bedrock upon which Iona has supposedly structured their music. (I say "supposedly" because the content of early Celtic spirituality is somewhat open to debate and interpretation.) Back in 1996 I read an article in a theological journal which suggested that Celtic Christianity would become the "flavor of the month" for North American Christians. It certainly seems that has happened in certain circles. However, like some waters, it has turned out for many to be miles wide, but inches deep. Not a lot of substance, but very pop. Like you, Celtic Christianity has had a major impact on my spirituality. Not so much from Columba and Brendan and the other saints, but from those who worked out in detail what the Church in isolation held. Folk like Pelagius and Eriugena codified much of Celtic theology. They have helped me to see what the Church was like before the influences of Calvin and, before him, Augustine. If anyone is interested in pursuing this further, let me suggest that you go to Liam's website. He includes some excellent links to follow for further information. "The Foolish Cross" http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Forum/6389 If you want to see a picture of Liam (and me!), check out Litter's site at http://members.aol.com/litterali/WS/LitsPage.htm Litter, who is based in Scotland, has a great selection of other CC documents, including some of his own excellent, CC-inspired poetry. One of Liam's links is for the Celtic Christian Mailing List. This is a very respectful, tight-knit "family" who have been discussing a wide range of issues, mostly related to CC. Instructions are given at the Celi-De site on how to subscribe. If you want to bypass Liam (but why would you do that?), you can go directly to Celi-De via: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Troy/2539/ Liam's site is also a member site of the Celtic Christian Webring, which you can gain access to from links at the bottom of his opening page. Be warned, however, that not everything which claims to be Celtic is, nor is everything which claims to be Christian.

I guess I am to blame just as much as anyone when it comes to silence on the list. SO here is my 2 cents. So much of what I appreciate about Iona is the reflective lyrics that Jo writes. Somehow she captures the quandary of "should I serve with whole hearted obedience or just the comfortable obedience?" I see this all over Beyond These Shores, (not my favorite musically but definitely lyrically) Also in all that reflection, I think it makes me wonder more about church history, and Celtic history in general. I too have become interested in my family's past due to this reflection. I told my Grandma that I would visiting her with a cam corder for all the great- great grandchildren of which she already has several. I once expressed this appreciation to Jo herself when I saw them in 1995 in Chicago And like a good Christian she claimed no responsibility for writing such things but rather pointed the glory to the Lord. Keep it up Iona. My 2 Cents worth.

I don't believe this is the case, as I look at my Iona "Iona" CD it was released by 1990 Word (uk) ltd. Distributed in the U.S. by the Forefront Communications Group.

Since it's original launch in September 1997, the Britlinks site has grown to become one of the most popular sites on the web relating to Christian involvement in British music, currently receiving over 2500 visitors a month. The key enhancement to the site is the inclusion of the long-awaited message board system. This system allows web-based noticeboards to be set up where visitors can leave or read messages about musicians wanted/ available or various other topics and leave their responses for others to read. A number of forums will be available initially, and more will be added as the need arises. Make sure you take advantage of these to announce any forthcoming events, or to place your musicians wanted/available ads. If there's a new forum you think we should add, just send an e-mail and tell us about it. Another major development is the growth of the "Advice" section. This section is an attempt to share the combined knowledge of those on the Britlinks Discussion List. Information on various legal issues affecting musicians, experiences with booking agencies, tips on recording and presenting a demo, and help in promoting a band website are among the new sections. Following some discussions on the "Cross Rhythms" e-mail discussion list, the "promoters" section has been expanded to include a list of contacts at various universities around the country to help those musicians who would like to do a university tour. This section especially will be developed further over the coming months. The band index has continued to grow steadily and is currently hovering around the 200-artists mark. The search engine which was introduced to the site late last year has become a popular feature and makes it even easier to search out information on a particular artist or resource. Band and Organisation Submission forms are available through the website, by fax or by post -- contact the Britlinks for copies. If you would like to be involved with the Britlinks, want to suggest some way to publicise the site, or would be interested in sponsoring the website, please get in touch. If you're not on the Britlinks announcements list and would like to be, just send us an e-mail at additions@britlinks.co.uk and we'll make sure you're added. - -- James Stewart | The Britlinks | The Phantom Tollbooth james@britlinks.co.uk | http://www.britlinks.co.uk | http://www.tollbooth.org FreeState Festival -- http://www.britlinks.co.uk/freestate/ ______________ To unsubscribe send an e-mail command to musictus@musictus.com In the body of the message type ONLY the following: unsubscribe iona or visit http://www.gospel.it/iona/mailingl.html ------------------------------ End of iona-digest V1999 #14 **************************** ______________ To unsubscribe send an e-mail command to musictus@musictus.com In the body of the message type ONLY the following: unsubscribe iona-digest or visit http://www.gospel.it/iona/mailingl.html
