The features of Celtic spirituality is that of its creation emphasis. We have all grown up with a sense of awe at creation.

The first time we listened to the sound to the waters of a river or to rainfall, or lying in the grass feeling and smelling it and seeing its brilliant green or watching sunlight dappling through leaves.

Connected to these special moments will be recollections of experiencing at the very deepest of levels a type of communion with God in nature.

God is not separate from creation - God is within creation and to recognise the world as the place of revelation and the whole of life as sacramental.

The fourth-century writings of Pelagius on the life of God within creation.

He not only stressed the essential goodness of creation - and our capacity to glimpse what he called 'the shafts of divine light' that penetrates the thin veil dividing heaven and earth but very specifically, the essential goodness of humanity.

Pelagius maintained that the image of God can be seen in every newborn child and that, although obscured by sin(or the potential to do harm) it exists at the heart of every person, waiting to be released through the grace of God.
