There are as many ways to God as there are people. It is not the aim of the Christian Church or our network to prescribe one mandatory religious practice. We focus on the historical and modern Celtic Christian sources such as the Rule of Columban in order to derive a contemporary Christian spirituality which is based on a positive view of man.

According to Christian tradition the spiritual life includes prayer, meditation, liturgy, study, work, chant, retreats for spiritual exercises, spiritual friendship and personal spiritual development. Everyone can participate actively in this by, for example, participating in the liturgy, leading meditations, imparting knowledge, and by being actively involved in church social service and missions. Each member decides for himself where to set his or her priorities and whether this will occur on a passive or active level.

Enlightenment is advocated and seen as an opportunity and not as opposition to religion. To this end, we build on the knowledge of the enlightenment, the focal point of the Bible's moral perfection and inner bliss. One might well add Christian faith in God and love of one’s neighbor to this. But it is virtually the key to ecumenism and openness to other faiths, religions and philosophies which also have moral perfection and inner bliss as their objective and subject matter. The appreciation of reason, titled with discretion in the Columban Rule, and freewill of individuals protects the community from untenable fundamentalist views and all types of exaggerations.
