The origins of the Community of Celebration lie in a movement of the Holy Spirit at the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer, Houston, Texas, in the period 1966-1971. Contemporaries in the church at large spoke of it as "a new way of living." Christians across the world were captivated and inspired, both by the extraordinary power of worship and by the "extended family" life-style which had been adopted by hundreds of people as a means of serving God. Those involved experienced the risen Christ as a palpable presence among them. Today there are two Communities which constitute the Society of the Community of Celebration: one in Bletchingley (near London), England, and the other in Aliquippa, PA.

At this conference the members of both Communities will gather in Pennsylvania to celebrate 30 years of common life and ministry. We will focus on seeking the Kingdom of God like a merchant who finds a pearl of great value and sells all to buy it. It will be a time to reflect on what God has done in and through our life together and to celebrate the joys and sorrows which have enriched and matured us. As a fitting conclusion
