An excellent example of the classic English seaside town, Folkestone, Kent, lies in the extreme southeast portion of England, directly across from the European continent. It's the chief town in the home county (one of the five counties that border London) of Kent, and it was a well-regarded resort area that attracted holiday travelers from all over England.
With a population of around fifty-three thousand people, Folkestone is large enough to have every major convenience but small enough to avoid the stresses experienced by several of it larger cousins and even the city of London, which sits in an easily-traveled distance to the north and west. The name Folkestone comes from the region's original Celtic inhabitants.
The town can trace much of its history back to the historic Celtic migrations from Europe which occurred over the years leading up to the first Roman presence in that part of England. Celtic languages of that era are known as "Brythonic," from which our modern-day word "Britain" arose. Throughout the centuries, Folkestone had been a typical small fishing village. Also, it once lived off the industry generated from its role as a seaside resort for Englanders holidaying in the countryside. The late 20th century saw it make more of a living for a while from the construction jobs generated in the building of the Channel Tunnel, which was placed near to the region in which Folkestone is located.
Folkestone's prime location on the seaside gives it some of the most picturesque scenery in England, with views of France clearly visible over the English Channel. That European country is only twenty or so miles off to the east. The town is also home to many sporting activities and cultural opportunities, including museums, street fairs, and other activities.
The home county of Kent has a population numbering some one-million, seven-hundred thousand people, making it seventh-largest in all of England. It has a well-deserved nickname as "The Garden of England" because of the number of orchards and the like spread all over the county. The world-renowned White Cliffs of Dover, which has been memorialized throughout history in song and fable, is among the region's most-famous of landmarks.
Folkestone, Kent, England should be a must on any tourist's travel itinerary. See it if you can.

Celtic Christianity $13.65 This fascinating book introduces the mysterious and extraordinary world of Celtic Christianity. Timothy Joyce, a Benedictine monk of Irish descent, evokes the distinctive spirituality that drew on pre-Christian beliefs and culture. He shows how this style of Christianity changed, was subordinated, and gave way to the larger Roman church, and yet how elements endured. Finally, he explores what Celtic spirituality has to offer today to the church as well as spiritual seekers. Celtic spirituality is holistic -- a joyful, mystically-inclined spirituality that affirms the goodness of creation, urges respect for women's gifts, and finds expression in poetry, myth, and song. Joyce recounts the heroic stories of such saints as Patrick, Bridget, Columcille, and Columba. But he goes beyond other treatments to explore how this tradition was gradually subsumed by a more rigid style of Irish Catholicism, and he reflects on the centuries of suffering that have left an indelible mark on the Irish consciousness and spirit. Yet ultimately Joyce shows how the recovery of this ancient tradition of Christianity might rejuvenate the church and contribute to spiritual renewal today. |

Visions & Voyages: The Story of Celtic Spirituality $16.95 "As the Roman Empire began to crumble, Celtic Christians began to embark more often on pilgrimages and quests. They found visionary islands on Skellig Michael, Iona, and Lindisfarne, yet their spirituality was largely concerned with politics and people. Brigid ruled a monastery for women and men, princesses and slaves, while Arthur was defending Celtic Britain against English invaders, and Aidan died protesting against his king. While some Celtic Christians did slam the monastery gates on the sinful world, most tramped into the hills to stand alongside ordinary people. Drawing on historical documents and a thoughtful examination of legends, this is an insightful resource that unveils the development of and tenets behind the various strands of Celtic Christianity." |

Early Celtic Christianity $140 This lively and original account of early Celtic Christianity - which was of far greater importance in the development of Western culture than we commonly realize - is told against the background of European history of the first seven centuries A.D. It focuses on the lives of Saints Brendan, Columba, and Columbanus, who lived active and effective lives in the cause of the early Church. Brendan, one of the founding fathers of Christianity in Ireland, was known in legend as a voyager and was thought to have reached the Western Hemisphere long before the Vikings. Columba took Celtic Christianity to Scotland and helped to re-establish it in Wales and in the North and West of England. Columbanus was the great Irish missionary to continental Europe, where he and his followers helped to convert the heathen invaders from the East. When Rome, in the person of St. Augustine, Pope Gregory's apostle to the Angles, penetrated again to England, a showdown between Roman and Celtic Christianity was inevitable. The dramatic confrontation occurred at the Council of Whitby in 664. Rome, with its organization and authority, won, and Celtic Catholicism went into eclipse. But some of its influence persisted all over Europe, and it had a large share in shaping the culture that ultimately emerged from the dark ages. This book's fascination is the picture that it gives of the movements of peoples, the shaping of new countries, and the development of ideas during those too-little-known centuries. |
