In the 1960s an extraordinary period of renewal came to the Church of the Redeemer in Houston, Texas. Eventually the renewal came to Britain in the shape of the Community of Celebration, whose ministry teams known as the Fisherfolk became a worldwide phenomenon. How did it make the transition from a large family oriented community to a type of vowed religious order? Philip Bradshaw, an Anglican, reflects on his life with the Community since its early beginnings.

I thought the book was excessively abstract, and did not come to terms with the tangible aspects of the community.

Review of the book "Following the Spirit" by Philip Bradshaw
By Cherie C. Binns RN BS MSCN
I have just finished reading Bradshaw's account of the 30+ year history of the Community of Celebration which had its roots in Church of the Redeemer, Episcopal, in Houston Texas in the mid 1960s under the leadership of the Rev. Graham Pulkingham. This is a must read for those who want a bona fide look at the genesis of this movement and way of religious life and community and are not looking for an expose'.
The first half of the book chronicles the formation of Christian Community in Houston and the traveling team of musicians and pastors that came from that Community establishing new communities in Coventry, England and Cumbrae Scotland, Woodland Park, Colorado and Aliquippa, PA where the remnants of that community still reside and minister. Bradshaw also speaks of the Anglican Post Green Community in Dorset with a ministry of spiritual and emotional healing that aligned itself with the new Community under the leadership of the Pulkinghams.
In the second half of these pages, doctrine that was widely taught in the Communities such as "Son-ship" (being sons of God), relationships within and without the Community, worship, prayer, music, faith, evangelism, understanding and teaching of the Bible as the Word of God are addressed. Further, he discusses the understanding of God, Jesus and Spirit. These were things that attracted members to the Community and resonate today in the hearts and minds of those who connected and stayed over the years.
There are no "dirty secrets" between these covers, only a clear explanation of how this Community came to be and why it was so powerful in its ministries and relationships. As one who lived within the bounds of this "phenomenon" for several years, I felt affirmed, empowered, renewed and challenged to continue the mission.
