Youth/Reaffirmation of Faith Event - Sunday April 11 during worship

An introduction to Modern Celtic Paganism 

Our speaker, Brian Walsh, will open with a brief description of the modern pagan movement, emphasizing its diversity.  This will be followed by a sacred story from Celtic mythology, and a look at Celtic paganism, primarily from a Reconstructionist point of view. Questions will be welcome throughout, and if there is time we'll finish with another sacred story.  Brian has been actively interested in Paganism for 28 years and a priest in the Céilí Sídhe tradition of Celtic Paganism since 1990.  He holds a B.A. in Celtic Studies and Religious Studies from the University of Toronto, as well as an M.Phil. from the University of Wales. His book, The Secret Commonwealth and the Fairy Belief Complex (2002), was based on his Masters thesis on fairy beliefs and Second Sight in Early Modern Scotland.  Brian currently works as a spiritual care provider at a major Toronto hospital, and as a Pagan (Celtic and Reconstructionist) chaplain at the University of Toronto.  Also, as a licensed Wedding Officiant, he is able to perform legal weddings in the province of Ontario.  For more information go to www.newtara.org 

Don't you wish you were a youth???  Sorry, the event is limited to our young people but if there is enough interest from adults we'll have Brian back!
