“…Grail Christianity and the Grail Church, which at times has also been referred to as the British Church, the Welsh Church, the Old Catholic Church, Druidic Christian Church as well as other labels, also has much in common with Celtic Christianity. It receives much of its guidance to the saints of the Celtic Church, including Saint Joseph of Arimathea, Saint Patrick, Saint Columba, Saint Aidan, Saint Brendan, Saint Brigid, Saint Gildas, Saint Petroc and Saint Cadoc, but also two who it could be argued ought to have been declared Saints, Origen of Alexandria and Pelagius….”

“…Though he spent many years in Rome, Pelagius was of Irish descent. In addition to being a Saint of the Grail Church, Pelagius can certainly be viewed (and most likely is) a Saint of the Celtic Church as well. As with the Grail Church, other Celtic Saints are St. Patrick, St. Columba, Saint Brigid and St. Brendan. Of the antiquity of the Celtic Church, it was reported that upon learning that the Pope had tasked him with traveling to the British Isles, Augustine appealed to the Pope for a release, fearing the reputation of the savage British tribes. Instead Augustine found that the “savages” were already Christian. There were Christian abbeys at Whithorn as well as Glastonbury by the turn of the fifth century.”
“The earliest clearly British Christian leader recorded after the departure of the Roman Legions from the island was Saint Dyfrig… (of whom legend contends) “solemnized the marriage of King Arthur and Guinevere.” Dyfrig’s student Saint Illtud is referred to in The Welsh Triads as “one of the three knights of the Court of Arthur who kept the Holy Grail.” He was much like Merlin and “…by descent (was) a Druid and foreknower of future events.”

The lineage of the original Celtic Church from Saint Dyfrig is extensive, including such luminaries as Saints David, Cadoc, Petroc, Piran, Kentigern/Mungo, Samson, and Gildas. It officially ends only in 1172 when “the Synod of Cashel ended the Celtic Christian system and brought them under Rome.”
