About Celtic Christianity Today

Rev. Dr. George Cairns of Chesterton, Ind. looks at what can be learned from Earth-based religions like the Celts to help ensure a future for our planet.
"We have lost participative consciousness, which understands that our lives are profoundly related to the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of all of creation," Cairns said. "Another way of putting this is that we are completely relational beings."
"Reconnection with all of creation as sacred, responsive and alive is our great task in the early 21st century, he said.
Cairns works closely with Rev. Gregory Jones, the pastor of Union Community Church and an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Theology at Valparaiso University.
Rev. Cairns has ties to the Celtic-related Iona Community in Scotland.
Cairns is a research professor of Practical Theology and Spirituality at Chicago Theological Seminary, an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ and co-founder of the nonprofit Turtle Island Project

About this user

Rev. Dr. George Cairns is a semi-retired minister, professor of practical and spiritual theology at Chicago Theological Seminary, and is a clinical psychologist.

Dr. Cairns helped found the Parliament of the World's religions and with Wayne Teasdale wrote/edited a book about this process.

Cairns current work concerns Celtic spirituality, centering prayer, and their integration into a theology of practical action for healing, justice, and peace.

Dr. Cairns is working closely on social issues with Rev. Gregory Jones, pastor of the Union Community Church in Valparaiso and is also a professor at Valparaiso University.

Rev. Cairns is co-founder of the nonprofit Turtle Island Project.

Cairns has practiced and taught Centering Prayer since 1986. He has taught centering prayer in several unusual settings including a Native American cultural center and a maximum security prison. He has published papers on this work.

Rev. Cairns and his wife Nancy have taught an early and little-known Christian practice known as "jubilation." This form of sung praise produces a whole chord of sound by an individual. When practiced in community, sounds appear which no one is making.

He is a former member of the Forge Guild, an international group which encourages spiritual teachers from different religious traditions to explore one another's practices and Spiritual Directors International. Dr. Cairns and Nancy are associates/members of two christian communities: The Iona Community based in Scotland, and the Shalom Community based in Chicago.
