A Celtic Mass for Peace
(by J. Philip Newell and Sam Guarnaccia)
Saturday 25 November 2006, 7pm onwards,
St Giles’ Cathedral, The Royal Mile, Edinburgh.

We live in the midst of a new awareness of the oneness of the earth. We live also in the midst of terrible brokennesses between nations and religious traditions. The Celtic Mass for Peace is an expression of the deep longing for peace that is stirring in the human soul today.

The poetry of the Mass was written by J. Philip Newell, author in spirituality living in Edinburgh, and the music was composed by the Vermont musician, Sam Guarnaccia, both of whom will be present, presiding and directing the Mass on 25th November. The soloist will be the Edinburgh musician/singer, Suzanne Adam, accompanied by the meditative chant musicians 'Sounds of the Eternal.'
Cost: Admission free. Closing offerings.
