Surveying the life and times of Aidan of Lindisfarne, this book
draws insights into missional approaches to inspire both outreach
and discipleship for today's Church. As in his previous BRF book,
Hilda of Whitby, Ray Simpson shows that such figures from past
centuries can provide models for Christian life and witness today.
An author and speaker on Celtic spirituality with a worldwide
reputation, he combines historical fact with spiritual lessons in a
highly accessible style.
The Holy Island of Lindisfarne is often called "the holiest place
in England" because of all the saints who have lived there. St.
Aidan and St. Cuthbert, two popular Celtic saints, are buried
there. For more than 1,300 years pilgrims have made their way to
this island, which now hosts half a million visitors a year. A Holy
Island Prayer Book, with prayers for morning, midday, and night,
follows the rhythms and seasons of the natural and Christian year
as observed on Holy Island.
More contemplative than the earthy spirituality of communities
such as Iona, each day of the week has a special theme:
Sunday: Resurrection and renewal
Monday: Creation
Tuesday: incarnation and peace
Wednesday: The Holy Spirit in mission and healing
Thursday: Community and unity
Friday: With broken people at the Cross
Saturday: Leisure (morning) and the Saints (night)
A Holy Island Prayer Book includes prayers by popular author
David Adam, and is the perfect companion for anyone who has visited
Holy Island, or those who are there in spirit.
Monk in the Market Place ā¦ and the Simpsons is a memoir like no
other. Ray Simpson, Founding Guardian of the international new
monastic Community of Aidan and Hilda, recalls the story of a
unique life in which he has followed faithfully a calling to live
monastically beyond the traditional enclosures of monastery or
shrine. Rayās unputdownable account charts human pain and
God-incidents in his childhood and college, baptisms of fire in
industrial heartlands and multi-racial London, pioneering a Village
of God at Bowthorpe, Norwich, the call to be āa contemplative in
the market placeā living without a salary, his co-founding of the
Community of Aidan and Hilda, and twenty years as founder of the
Celtic Christianity library and CAH Retreat Facilities on the Holy
Island of Lindisfarne, āthe spiritual capital of Englandā.
In the dark and turbulent centuries after the Roman occupation of
Britain, and during the Anglo-Saxon colonisation, the light of
heaven still shone through the work and witness of the monastic
communities, 'villages of God', which dotted the land. One of the
most remarkable figures of those times was Hilda of Whitby. Born
and reared amid warring pagan tribes, through the influence of
Celtic saints and scholars she became a dominant figure in the
development of the British Church, above all at the famous Synod
where Celtic and Roman Churches came together. Until recently,
though, the story of this extraordinary woman has not received much
attention. Published to coincide with the 1400th anniversary of her
birth, this book not only explores the drama of Hilda's life and
ministry but shows what spiritual lessons we can draw for Christian
life and leadership today.
