If we can understand the past, it prepares us better for the future. Secondly, it helps us to see that the Christians of today have probably been duped and that the original teachings of Jesus were undoubtedly much closer to our own beliefs. And lastly to show that, at least in the British Isles, the first Christians were probably very much pagan, and that on some of those remote isles they still exist today. The message of Christianity was not always one of hate. A number of religious and chivalrous orders existing today claim direct lines of succession through many centuries to the present.
Research reveals that such claims are often inaccurate or highly questionable.
The Holy Celtic Church makes no such claim for its Military and Religious Order of Culdees. The modern Order of Culdees has revived, reestablished and reorganized the ancient traditions of the Order into one that fits the character of today's society. Brothers and Sisters of the Order are non-stipend. They are appointed to serve as chaplains to particular facilities such as hospitals, nursing homes, prisons, etc., or as missionaries serving cell churches and missions. Each member agrees to abide by the code of conduct of the Order, and to be guided by Holy Scripture.
