At the end of the 6th century, [[Pope Gregory I]] dispatched a [[Gregorian mission|mission]] under [[Augustine of Canterbury]] to convert the [[Anglo-Saxons]], establish new sees and churches throughout their territories, and reassert papal authority over the native church. Gregory intended for Augustine to become the [[metropolitan bishop]] over all of southern Britain, including the existing dioceses under Welsh and Cornish control. Augustine met with British bishops in a series of conferences—known as the [[Synod of Chester]]—that attempted to assert his authority and to compel them to abandon aspects of their service that had fallen out of line with Roman practice. The [[Northumbria]]n cleric [[Bede]]'s ''[[Ecclesiastical History of the English People]]'' is the only surviving account of these meetings: according to it, some of the clerics of the nearest British province met Augustine at a site on the border of the [[Kingdom of Kent]] that was known thereafter as Augustine's Oak. Augustine focused on seeking assistance for his work among the Saxons and reforming the Britons' [[Easter controversy|obsolete method for calculating Easter]]; the clerics responded that they would need to confer with their people and await a larger assembly.<ref name=Lloyd174175>{{harvnb|Lloyd|1912|pp=174–175}}</ref> Bede relates that the bishops particularly consulted a hermit on how to respond. He told them to respond based on Augustine's conduct: were he to rise to greet them, they would know him for a humble servant of Christ and should submit to his authority but, were he to remain seated, they would know him to be arrogant and prideful and should reject him. As it happened, Augustine did keep his seat, provoking outrage. In the negotiations that followed, he offered to allow the Britons to maintain all their native customs but three: they should adopt Rome's more advanced method of calculating the date of Easter, reform their baptismal ritual, and join the missionary efforts among the Saxons. The British clerics rejected all of these, as well as Augustine's authority over them.<ref name=Lloyd174175/> [[John Edward Lloyd]] argues that the primary reason for the British bishops' rejection of Augustine – and especially his call for them to join his missionary effort – was his claim to sovereignty over them, given that his see would be so deeply entwined with Anglo-Saxon Kent.<ref name=Lloyd177>{{harvnb|Lloyd|1912|p=177}}</ref>
The death of hundreds of British clerics to the pagan king [[Æthelfrith]] of the [[Kingdom of Northumbria]] around 616 at the [[Battle of Chester]] was taken by [[Bede]] as fulfillment of a prophecy allegedly made by [[Augustine of Hippo]] that the British church would receive war and death from the Saxons they refused to proselytise.<ref>{{harvnb|Lloyd|1912|p=180}}</ref><ref>{{harvnb|Yorke|2006|pp=118-119}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |author=Bede |title=Ecclesiastical History of England |location=London |publisher=George Bell and Sons |date=1907 |url=https://archive.org/details/forestculturean01coopgoog |via=Internet Archive }}</ref>{{page needed|date=May 2017}}{{efn|Bede says 1,200 British clergy died; the ''[[Anglo-Saxon Chronicle]]'' says 200.

According to Bede, [[Saint Ninian]] was born about 360, in what is present day Galloway, the son of a chief of the Novantae, apparently a Christian. He studied under [[Martin of Tours]] before returning to his own land about 397. He established himself at [[Whithorn]] where he built a church of stone, "Candida Casa". Tradition holds that Ninian established an episcopal see at the Candida Casa in Whithorn, and named the see for Saint Martin of Tours. He converted the southern Picts to Christianity,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.whithorn.com/saint-ninian.htm |title=Saint Ninian |website=The Whithorn Trust }}</ref> and died around 432. Many Irish saints trained at the "Candida Casa", such as [[Tigernach of Clones]], [[Ciarán of Clonmacnoise]], and [[Finnian of Movilla]]. Ninian's work was carried on by Palladius, who left Ireland to work among the Picts.The mission to the southern Picts apparently met with some setbacks, as Patrick charged Coroticus and the "apostate Picts" with conducting raids on the Irish coast and seizing Christians as slaves. [[Ternan]] and [[Saint Serf]] followed Palladius. Serf was the teacher of [[Saint Mungo]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bartleby.com/210/7/061.html |title=Butler, Alban.

A Welshman of noble birth, [[Saint Petroc]] was educated in Ireland. He set out in a small boat with a few followers. In a type of ''peregrinatio'', they let God determine their course.

Monastic spirituality came to Britain and then Ireland from Gaul, by way of Lérins, Tours, and Auxerre. Its spirituality was heavily influenced by the Desert Fathers. According to Richard Woods, the familial, democratic, and decentralized aspects of Egyptian Christianity were better suited to structures and values of Celtic culture than was a legalistic diocesan form.<ref name=woods/> Monasteries tended to be cenobitical in that monks lived in separate cells but came together for common prayer, meals, and other functions.

Kekristenan Kelt (Celtic Christianity) atau Kekristenan Insuler (Insular Christianity) merujuk secara luas untuk fitur-fitur tertentu dari agama Kristen yang umum, atau dianggap umum, di seluruh tempat yang menggunakan bahasa Keltik pada masa Abad Pertengahan Awal.[1] "Kekristenan Kelt" telah dipahami dengan tingkat kekhasan yang berbeda: beberapa penulis telah menjelaskan suatu "Gereja Kelt" tersendiri yang menyatukan orang Kelt dan membedakan mereka dari Gereja Katolik "Roma", sementara yang lain mengklasifikasikan hanya sebagai satu set praktik khas yang terjadi di sejumlah daerah.[2] Para sarjana sekarang menolak gagasan yang terdahulu, tetapi memperhatikan bahwa ada beberapa tradisi dan praktik yang digunakan dalam gereja-gereja di Irlandia dan Inggris yang tidak diterapkan lebih luas dalam dunia Kristen.[3] Ini termasuk sistem khas untuk menentukan penanggalan Paskah, gaya monastik mencukur ubun-ubun (tonsur), sebuah sistem yang unik mengenai penebusan dosa, dan popularitas untuk menjalani "pengasingan bagi Kristus".[3] Selain itu, ada praktik-praktik lain yang berkembang dalam bagian-bagian tertentu di Inggris atau Irlandia, tetapi yang tidak tersebar di luar wilayah tertentu tersebut. Karenanya, istilah Kekristenan Kelt menunjukkan praktik kedaerahan di antara gereja-gereja insuler (terpisah) dan kaitannya, daripada perbedaan teologis yang sebenarnya.
Istilah "Gereja Kelt" sudah jarang dipakai oleh banyak sejarawan karena menyiratkan suatu entitas kesatuan dan teridentifikasi yang sama sekali terpisah dari mainstream Kristen Barat.[4] Yang lain lebih memilih istilah "Kekristenan Insuler".[5] Sebagaimana Patrick Wormald menjelaskan, "salah satu kesalahpahaman umum adalah bahwa ada suatu 'Gereja Romawi' yang ditentang secara nasional oleh bangsa 'Kelt'."[6] Di Jerman, digunakan istilah "Iroschottisch", di mana von Lutz Padberg menempatkannya juga pada dikotomi antara Kekristenan Irlandia-Skotlandia dan Kekristenan Romawi.[7] Wilayah berbahasa Keltik adalah bagian dari Kekristenan Latin secara keseluruhan pada suatu waktu di mana tidak ada variasi regional dari liturgi dan struktur yang signifikan dengan penghormatan kolektif secara umum bagi Uskup Roma yang sama kuatnya di daerah berbahasa Keltik.[8]
Meskipun demikian, beberapa tradisi khas dikembangkan dan menyebar ke Irlandia dan Britania Raya, terutama pada abad ke-6 dan ke-7. Beberapa elemen mungkin telah diperkenalkan ke Irlandia oleh St. Patrick yang berasal dari Britania, dan kemudian orang lain menyebarkan dari Irlandia ke Inggris melalui sistem misi Irlandia St. Columba. Sejarah gereja Irlandia, Wales, Skotlandia, Breton, Cornish, dan Manx bercabang secara signifikan setelah abad ke-8 (yang mengakibatkan perbedaan besar bahkan persaingan dengan tradisi Irlandia).[9] Minat akan subjek ini pada waktu kemudian telah menyebabkan serangkaian gerakan "kebangkitan kembali orang Kristen Kelt", yang telah membentuk persepsi populer dari budaya dan praktik keagamaan Kelt.
Definisi
"Kekristen Kelt" telah dipahami dengan cara yang berbeda pada waktu yang berbeda. Tulisan-tulisan pada topik ini sering mengatakan lebih lanjut tentang masa di saat mana mereka berasal daripada sejarah negara Kristen pada awal abad pertengahan di wilayah yang berbahasa Keltik, dan banyak pengertian itu sekarang didiskreditkan dalam wacana akademik modern.[10][11] Salah satu fitur yang sangat menonjol dari Kekristenan Kelt adalah perbedaan khas inheren – dan umumnya menentang – Gereja Katolik.[12] Klaim umum lainnya adalah bahwa Kekristenan Kelt menolak otoritas Paus, kurang otoriter daripada Gereja Katolik, lebih spiritual, lebih ramah untuk perempuan, lebih terhubung dengan alam, dan lebih nyaman berhadapan dengan politeisme Kelt.[12] Salah satu pandangan, yang memperoleh traksi ilmiah substansial pada abad ke-19, adalah bahwa ada suatu "Gereja Kelt", suatu tubuh Kristus atau denominasi yang diorganisir secara signifikan menyatukan orang Kelt dan memisahkan mereka dari gereja "Roma" di benua Eropa.[13] Contohnya ditemukan di "Study of History" karya Toynbee, yang mengidentifikasi Kekristenan Kelt dengan sebuah "Peradaban Barat Jauh yang Digugurkan" – inti sebuah masyarakat baru, yang dicegah untuk berakar oleh Gereja Roma, bangsa Viking, dan Normandia.[14] Yang lain telah konten untuk berbicara tentang "Kekristenan Kelt" yang terdiri dari beberapa tradisi dan kepercayaan intrinsik untuk bangsa Kelt.[15]
Namun, para sarjana modern telah mengidentifikasi masalah dengan semua klaim ini, dan menemukan istilah "Kekristenan Kelt" bermasalah dalam dan dari dirinya sendiri.[1] Ide adanya "Gereja Kelt" ini ditolak mentah-mentah oleh para sarjana modern karena kurangnya bukti kuat.[15] Memang, ada tradisi gereja yang berbeda di Irlandia dan Inggris, masing-masing dengan praktik mereka sendiri, dan ada variasi lokal signifikan bahkan dalam masing-masing lingkungan individu Irlandia dan Inggris.[16] Sementara ada beberapa tradisi yang diketahui telah umum untuk gereja-gereja Irlandia dan Inggris, meskipun ini relatif sedikit. Bahkan kesamaan ini bukannya ada karena daerah itu bercorak "Kelt", melainkan karena sejarah dan faktor geografis lainnya. Selain itu, orang-orang Kristen dari Irlandia dan Inggris tidaklah "anti-Roma"; otoritas Roma dan kepausan juga dihormati kuat di daerah orang Kelt sebagaimana di wilayah lain di Eropa.[17] Caitlin Corning lebih lanjut mencatat bahwa "Irlandia dan Inggris tidak lebih pro-perempuan, pro-lingkungan, atau bahkan lebih rohani dari bagian Gereja lainnya."[12]
Sejarah
Britania Raya
Menurut tradisi Abad Pertengahan, Kekristenan tiba di Britania Raya dalam abad ke-1 atau ke-2.
Tradisi Pan-Keltik
Caitlin Corning mengidentifikasi empat kebiasaan umum yang terdapat pada gereja-gereja Irlandia dan Britania tetapi dijalankan di tempat lain dalam dunia Kristen.[18] According to hagiographies written some centuries later, Illtud and his pupils David, Gildas, and Deiniol were leading figures in 6th-century Britain.
Not far Llantwit Fawr stood Cadoc's foundation of Llancarfan, founded in the latter part of the fifth century. The son of Gwynllyw, a prince of South Wales, who before his death renounced the world to lead an eremitical life. Cadoc followed his father's example and received the religious habit from St. Tathai, an Irish monk, superior of a small community at Swent near Chepstow, in Monmouthshire. Returning to his native county, Cadoc built a church and monastery, which was called Llancarfan, or the "Church of the Stags". Here he established a monastery, college and hospital. The spot at first seemed an impossible one, and an almost inaccessible marsh, but he and his monks drained and cultivated it, transforming it into one of the most famous religious houses in South Wales.[19] His legend recounts that he daily fed a hundred clergy and a hundred soldiers, a hundred workmen, a hundred poor men, and the same number of widows. When thousands left the world and became monks, they very often did so as clansmen, dutifully following the example of their chief. Bishoprics, canonries, and parochial benefices passed from one to another member of the same family, and frequently from father to son. Their tribal character is a feature which Irish and Welsh monasteries had in common.[20][halaman dibutuhkan]
Illtud, said to have been an Armorican by descent, spent the first period of his religious life as a disciple of St. Cadoc at Llancarvan. He founded the monastery at Llantwit Major. The monastery stressed learning as well as devotion. One of his fellow students was Paul Aurelian, a key figure in Cornish monasticism.[21] Gildas the Wise was invited by Cadoc to deliver lectures in the monastery and spent a year there, during which he made a copy of a book of the Gospels, long treasured in the church of St. Cadoc.[19] One of the most notable pupils of Illtyd was St. Samson of Dol, who lived for a time the life of a hermit in a cave near the river Severn before founding a monastery in Brittany.
St David established his monastery on a promontory on the western sea. It was well placed to be a centre of Insular Christianity. When Alfred the Great sought a scholar for his court, he summoned Asser of Saint David's. Contemporary with David were Saint Teilo, Cadoc, Padarn, Beuno and Tysilio among them. It was from Illtud and his successors that the Irish sought guidance on matters of ritual and discipline. Finnian of Clonard studied under Cadoc at Llancarfan in Glamorgan.
Ireland
Finnian of Clonard is said to have trained the Twelve Apostles of Ireland at Clonard Abbey.

The achievements of insular art, in illuminated manuscripts like the Book of Kells, high crosses, and metalwork like the Ardagh Chalice remain very well known, and in the case of manuscript decoration had a profound influence on Western medieval art.[22] The manuscripts were certainly produced by and for monasteries, and the evidence suggests that metalwork was produced in both monastic and royal workshops, perhaps as well as secular commercial ones.[23]
In the 6th and 7th centuries, Irish monks established monastic institutions in parts of modern-day Scotland (especially Columba, also known as Colmcille or, in Old Irish, Colum Cille), and on the continent, particularly in Gaul (especially Columbanus). Monks from Iona under St. Aidan founded the See of Lindisfarne in Anglo-Saxon Northumbria in 635, whence Gaelic-Irish practice heavily influenced northern England.
Irish monks also founded monasteries across the continent, exerting influence greater than many more ancient continental centres.[24] The first issuance of a Papal privilege granting a monastery freedom from episcopal oversight was that of Pope Honorius I to Bobbio Abbey, one of Columbanus's institutions.[25]
At least in Ireland, the monastic system became increasingly secularised from the 8th century, as close ties between ruling families and monasteries became apparent. The major monasteries were now wealthy in land and had political importance. On occasion they made war either upon each other or took part in secular wars – a battle in 764 is supposed to have killed 200 from Durrow Abbey when they were defeated by Clonmacnoise.[26] From early periods the kin nature of many monasteries had meant that some married men were part of the community, supplying labour and with some rights, including in the election of Abbots (but obliged to abstain from sex during fasting periods). Some abbacies passed from father to son, and then even grandsons.[27] A revival of the ascetic tradition came in the second half of the century, with the culdee or "clients (vassals) of God" movement founding new monasteries detached from family groupings.[28]
Rule of Columbanus
The monasteries of the Irish missions, and many at home, adopted the Rule of Saint Columbanus, which was stricter than the Rule of Saint Benedict, the main alternative in the West. In particular there was more fasting and an emphasis on corporal punishment. For some generations monks trained by Irish missionaries continued to use the Rule and to found new monasteries using it, but most converted to the Benedictine Rule over the 8th and 9th centuries.[a]
Again, however, the Rule of Columbanus was used exclusively in monasteries in the Irish sphere of influence; it was not followed in British monasteries.
Baptism
Bede implies that in the time of Augustine of Canterbury, British churches used a baptismal rite that was in some way at variance with the Roman practice. According to Bede, the British Christians' failure to "complete" the Sacrament of Baptism was one of the three specific issues with British practice that Augustine could not overlook.[29] There is no indication as to how the baptism was "incomplete" according to the Roman custom. It may be that there was some difference in the confirmation rite, or that there was no confirmation at all.[30] At any rate, it is unlikely to have caused as much discord as the Easter controversy or the tonsure, as no other source mentions it.[30] As such there is no evidence that heterodox baptism figured into the practice of the Irish church.[12][31]
Accusations of Judaizing
A recurrent accusation levelled against the Irish throughout the Middle Ages is that they were Judaizers, which is to say that they observed certain religious rites after the manner of the Jews.[32] The belief that Irish Christians were Judaizers can be observed in three main areas: the Easter Controversy, the notion that the Irish practiced obsolete laws from the Old Testament and (not unrelated to this) the view that they adhered too closely to the Old Testament. Quite apart from the intricate theological concerns that underpinned the debate over Easter in early 7th-century Gaul, Columbanus also found himself accused of Quartodecimanism, a heresy whose central tenet was observing Easter on the same date as the eve of the Jewish Passover, namely the fourteenth day of the Jewish lunar month of Nisan. Although this false accusation was raised at a time of heightened political tensions between Columbanus and the Gallic bishops, some historians have cautioned that it ought not be dismissed as a mere ruse because the Gauls may have been genuinely worried about blurring the boundaries between Gallic Christians and their Jewish neighbours.[33] That the Irish practiced obsolete Old Testament laws is another accusation that repeats itself a number of times in the early Middle Ages, most famously in the case of the 8th-century Irish charismatic preacher, Clement Scotus I (fl. 745), who was condemned as a heretic, in part for urging followers to follow Old Testament law in such controversial matters as obliging a man to marry his widowed sister-in-law upon his brother’s death.[34] And finally, a good example for the Irish tendency to adhere closely to the Old Testament is the Hibernensis, a late 7th- or early 8th-century Irish canon law collection which was the first text of church law to draw heavily on the bible, and in particular the Old Testament, at a time when Christians were meant to be "dead to the old law" (Romans 7:4). In Scotland similar accusations surround the supposed cultural taboo concerning pork.
Celtic Christian revivalism
Ian Bradley notes that the recurrent interest in medieval Insular Christianity has led to successive revival movements he terms "Celtic Christian revivalism". According to Bradley, most, though not all, revivalists are non-Celts for whom Celtic Christianity has an "exotic and peripheral" appeal.[35] Adherents typically claim their revivals restore authentic practices and traits, though Bradley notes they reflect contemporary concerns and prejudices much more closely, and most are "at least partially inspired and driven by denominational and national rivalries, ecclesiastical and secular power politics, and an anti-Roman Catholic agenda." Though often inaccurate or distorted, the beliefs of these movements have greatly influenced popular conceptions of historical Celtic Christianity.[36]
Bradley traces the origins of Celtic Christian revivalism to the Middle Ages. In the 8th and 9th century, authors wrote idealised hagiographies of earlier saints, whose "golden age" of extraordinary holiness contrasted with the perceived corruption of later times. Similarly, the 12th- and 13th-century literary revival popularised and romanticised older Celtic traditions such as the Arthurian legend. These ideas were expanded during the English Reformation, as Protestant authors appropriated the concept of a "Celtic Church" as a native, anti-Roman predecessor to their own movement.[37]
In the 18th and 19th centuries, antiquarianism, the Romantic movement, and growing nationalism influenced ideas about what was becoming known as "Celtic Christianity". Beginning in the early 20th century, a full-fledged revival movement began, centred on the island of Iona and influenced by the Irish literary revival and more general Christian revivals. By the end of the 20th century, another wave of enthusiasm began, this time influenced by New Age ideals.[37] Today, a self-identification with and use of "Celtic Christianity" is common in countries such as Ireland, both among participants in established churches and independent groups.[38] -->
