Makanisa ya Kikelti

Makanisa wa Kikelti (au Ukristo wa Kikelti (kwa Kiingereza Celtic Christianity) yalikuweko katika visiwa vya Britania kuanzia karne ya 3 hadi mwanzo wa Karne za kati. 

Jina
Jina linatokana na lugha ya Wakelti, wakazi asili wa visiwa hivyo.Koch, p. 431. 

Upekee wake
Tofauti kati ya Ukristo wa huko na ule wa Ulaya bara zinapimwa na wataalamu kwa namna mbalimbali.Koch, pp. 431–432. Siku hizi wengi wanaona hazikuwa kubwa sana.Corning, p. 18. Kati yake kuna siku iliyopangwa kuadhimisha Pasaka, namna ya kunyoa wamonaki, utaratibu wa kitubio na juhudi za kuhama nchi ya kuzaliwa "kwa ajili ya Kristo".Dáibhí Ó Cróinín, Early Medieval Ireland 400–1200 (London, 1995); T.

Juhudi hizo za mwisho zilifanya hasa wamonaki kutoka visiwani waeneze desturi za Kikelti barani Ulaya; muhimu zaidi kati yake ni ile ya kuungama mara kwa mara kwa padri ili kutunza daima moyo safi.

Hatima
Ukristo wa Kikelti ulipata pigo kubwa katika Sinodi ya Whitby (664), ambapo ufalme wa Northumbria uliamua kufuata desturi za Kanisa la Roma.
