The Celtic Christian Church in Lexington, Kentucky.
Celtic Christian Church
and the Ministry of Fr. Paschal Baute
Rev. Paschal Baute, Ed. D., is a Catholic priest of the Celtic Christian Church, whose ministry is located in Lexington, Kentucky. His bishop is the Rcv. Joseph Greiner, of the Celtic Christian Church whose home is in northeast Pennsylvania. Information on this jurisdiction can be found on the internet at http://www.celticchristianchurch.org/.
We are an independent catholic and orthodox Church, in the spirit of the ancient Celtic Church. You may wish to visit this web site. It contains a statement on Homosexuality and Same Sex Relationships, a study of scripture and Natural Law, with which I fully agree. Few other religious jurisdictions have undertaken such a thorough study, yet the issue is tearing apart several jurisdictions, including, more recently, the Episcopal / Anglican, (See USA Today, March 3, 2006).
Father Paschal's ministry is inclusive and varied, in the Celtic Spirit. He welcomes all Christians and others to a wedding ministry at the Amazing Grace Chapel in the retreat center in East Fayette County. To this ministry, he brings his understanding of marriage and love and conflict enriched by some 30 years as a marital therapist and many years of listening. This ministry gives him great joy. An explanation of this wedding ministry with pictures can be found at

His ministry is interfaith as he has been a facilitator of the Spiritual Growth Network of Kentucky for some 17 years. SGN of Kentucky offers six kinds of assistance for the personal spiritual journey; regular weekly meetings, seven monthly Days of Recollection, quarterly retreats, specific workshops, newsletter, and community wide conventions where all Wisdom traditions are welcomed and studied. Further information can be found at the blog at Paschal's writing site at www.paschalbaute.com/writing/sgn. Paschal also participates and contributes to other community dialogue, for example, the Clergy and Lay Network. He helped organize the Interfaith Alliance in central Kentucky.
A jail and prison ministry is now in its fourth year, with some ten volunteers participating. Currently we are staffing groups in both men and women's units at the Fayette County Detention Center. The men's unit is interfaith and spiritual growth oriented, named, A Fierce Landscape for the Spiritual Warrior. This program incorporates some twenty years of consulting in correctional settings, and can also be found described on Paschal's writing blogs. Almost 100 inmates have been through our program which teaches jail-time as a necessary bootcamp for personal transformation. Its power is not only its structure, but also the diversity of volunteers participating and the group process of inmates taking leadership roles in confronting one another, building trust and developing new social skills. The self-examination they do is nothing short of grace-ful.
Paschal also teaches Ethics, Theology and Human Resource Management at the School for Careet Development at Midway College, Midway, Kentucky, 15 miles west of Lexington. He serves also as joint coordinator of the Human Resource Management program there, a new state of the art evening degree program for the non-traditional students.
Paschal has a storytelling ministry and incorporates scriptural and wellness themes to teach a healthy spirituality and inclusive faith. He calls this Amazement in his blog. He is a Board member of the Kentucky Storytelling Association. Currently he is helping organize the KSA presentation at the Kentucky Guild Berea Arts and Crafts Festival on May 19 and 20.
Paschal is active in Peace and Justice issues in Central Kentucky. His most recent articles is "Iraq: Vietnam Redux" in the March /April issue of Peace and Justice newsletter, and "Pander by Design" in the Lexington Herald -Leader, February 11, 2006. He writes to integrate faith and wellness and spirituality.
Paschal is married to Janette Osborne for 37 years and they have three children and three grandchildren. They live in east Fayette County, near the Clark County line, on Lofgren Court, just off Winchester Road, U. S. 60. U.S. 60 was an old stagecoach route called the Midland Trail, a toll road stretching from Norfolk, Virginia to St. Louis, Missouri and points west.
Paschal was a Benedictine monk for 16 years and a ordained Roman Catholic priest. He resigned from the Roman Church in 1968, and has continued a pastoral ministry.
Noblesse Oblige. I can never give back enough for all the many blessings, gifts and opportunities I have received. Never. I choose to spend the rest of my life giving away time, energy, love and creative initiatives. I am lovingly supported by my wife of 37+ years, Janette, and blessed with three grandchildren, each of whom is precous beyond compare. March 5, 2006, approaching my 77th birthday anniversary.
