Celtic Daily Light
Extracts from Ray Simpson’s Book that changes daily.

In the summer of 2019 the Community organized a week-long conference on Celtic Christianity. Leading experts were invited to give talks on many aspects of the subject and the audio records of these are available for download below. Many of the talks are over an hour in length and the files are very large, so they will take a few minutes to download, even with a good internet connection, so please be patient.
As a great deal of work and cost was required we are asking for a donation of £3 for each large file (over 100MB) and £2 for smaller files that you download. You can make this through our donations page.
