A Copy of the Letter to the Celtic Church of Yahweh

Shalom Pastor Fears and Brother Theo:
This last week, I went to a funeral for my grandmother. It was an important time, but a lot of time on the road in prayer and mediation. Among the things I was working through was the concept created through the “Celtic Church of Yahweh”. As I had mentioned when I first got your e-mail, I had suspected that this concept (although excellent) had fallen by the wayside. Perhaps the web site that I found was a something that was already tried and for some reason was unable to come together and no one had gone through the process of “pulling the plug yet”. This happens, and we all know this about certain concepts.
However, your e-mails to me made me think that this was not the case. I spoke to others about this “knighthood” concept and even posted a link on Facebook. I know of others who applied to be a part. My own daughter Seraphina McClanahan applied and my sister in law also joined. My eldest son intended to sign up today, but found the web site inactive. I got positive responses from others, but don’t know if they applied.
I did get an initial e-mail from you, but as you know there were no more responses and since Jolene and Seraphina also got no response, I had to conclude this was a concept which you are unable to put into motion at this time.
As I drove through the mountains of Montana (this weekend) home from the funeral, I felt a bit saddened by this. I sincerely believe that the concept you have put together has the potential to be revolutionary. It stirs the interest of men and women for spiritual depth and a vision of themselves in line with the concept of being a brother/sister and/or a knight. It “scratches where people itch”. It sets an inspiring high standard and invites people to come along. In many respects, I wished that God had given me the directive to run such a program. That was when it dawned on me, that if this is difficult to get started at your place and time, perhaps I could request authorization to start the Canadian division of the Celtic Church of Yahweh.
As I said, I wished I was more entrenched within this organization before I requested this, but I am requesting it anyway. I would like to have your permission to establish the Northern Shire. If this permission is granted, then I will follow the template you have laid out for physical, spiritual and character development. You may or may not continue the American (and rest of the world) side of this concept, and if by God’s grace, He prospers the work we do then these fellowships will merge as they grow. In fact, if you authorize me to take this action then my whole existence within the Celtic Church of Yahweh will be from your directive…essentially, there will be no merger.
Further, I think, if you allow me the helm of this Canadian division, then I will be able to share with you whatever successes we enjoy from this side of the border. Perhaps successes that happen here can be transferred to the American experience. As I mentioned (when there was a delay from my initial application until my e-mail response) I put together some thoughts as to how to make this effective in Canada as if this concept had already run it’s course in the US. I have some ideas and am ready to run with it, if I am allowed to do so.
Also, if you desire to keep the Celtic Church of Yahweh concept running then I would be happy to provide you regular updates about what we are doing and how things are working, and submitting to your leadership.
I would be willing to provide a more detailed accounting of my experience and education and well as any character references as necessary so that you can make the determination whether I would be one who can represent your initiative.
If you simply wish to close this concept completely, then I want you to know that my desire is to do something similar. I have this morning inquired about a church charter from my own non-denominational ordination organization, and will set this in motion. I sincerely believe you are on the right track with this. I do want to be involved. I am a man of independent means (meaning I don’t have or need a day job), so I have the time an energy to commit to make this successful. I have seen others express an interest to be involved, and I think this is the work God intends.
I am eager to hear from you. God’s grace to you and yours,
Brother Bradley
