St Brendan, St Columba Irish saints who left Ireland to christianize Scotland & Northern England. They brought faith back to Europe during the dark ages. That's why Ireland was known as the Island of Saints & Scholars V interesting beautiful place steeped in God's presence
Did not St Patrick try to take Christianity to the Irish Tribes from Roman Britain..? Roman Britain had Christian Bishops after the Roman army was withdrawn
There's another video on youtube where the narrator says that Celtic Christians were Sabbath keepers and proto-protestants. How would you respond to that?
I would direct your question to Fr. Seraphim Aldea. I only have a limited knowledge of Christianity in the Celtic Isles. My guess is that he will need to know what the other video means by "Sabbath keepers" and "proto-protestants."
Saints were memorialised from the beginning, especially as the roots were surrounded by martyrdom. I cannot imagine any form of protestantism existing before empiricism, ie the denunciation of the invisible: a tragic path that mocks spirituality.
@@StInnocentOrthodoxChurch I know that martyrdom exists in the scriptures but I don't really understand someone offering to die to help the church. Martyrdom might come out of persecution, although we are told to flee persecution, but if it happens it can glorify Christ. But I don't see that the philosophy choosing to die to help the church comes from God when there is no persecution. I cannot accept that personally.
Jesus Christ is the head of the Church, which is the Body of Christ. Typically, the head does not disassociate itself from the body. In other words, in the Orthodox world, when we serve Christ we are serving the Church, when we sere the Church we are serving Christ. There is no separation between Christ and His Church.
@@StInnocentOrthodoxChurch Correct that Jesus Christ is the head of the church which is His body. The word church in the greek means a gathering for a set purpose. It is a secular word. It is applied to christians in the bible because they meet in the name of Christ. It is true that Jesus does not disassociate from His body but it is known that christians in name only can disassociate from Christ. I would say that all who follow Christ are part of the body whatever label they put on their denomination. There are many members but one body. Not only the Catholics or the Orthodox or the Protestants but all that follow Christ and who honour His word.
I hear what you are saying. However, saying that those who "follow Christ" are part of His body is subjective. The Arians and Gnostics said they followed Christ. St. John and the Apostle Paul mention various groups who said they followed Christ but were leading people astray. Doctrine, dogma, practice, teaching are all things that make "following Christ" more concrete.
Thank you Fr Seraphim 🙏🙏🙏
Very interesting. Hopefuly I can visit one day?
We hope so!

St Columba dispute over copy of bible
Each cow has his calf & each book has its copy
Say first instance of dispute over copyright

@2 Timothy 4:18 Did you find out more about this?
@@dorinamary7863 I didn't. I'm sure it was just some seventh day Adventist troll.
What is a "proto Protestant"? I can assure you, that despite our opposition to the Roman church in the first millenium was not "proto Protestantism"

Horrific that St Onan offered his life to build a church. I don't believe that is anything to do with christian doctrine.
If St. Onan offered his life to build a church it was because he was guided by the Holy Spirit to do so.
