There has been alot of discussion on rec.music.christian about enya and
what her religious beliefs actually are. Can someone please give a
definitive answer in order to bring an end to the debate.

There is only one sure way, sir, I know of to get the definitive
answer: Ask the great lady yourself! You can write to her c/o
Reprise Records in the USA and WEA in the rest of the world.
(Thanks to Dave Allum's Unofficial Enya Web Page for the info.)

Or, you may want to write to her diocese in Gweedore, County Donegal,
where she grew up, attended Catholic boarding school and sang in the
choir ...

And, what difference does it make? Her music instills thoughts of
higher consciousness and a connection with the devine in most rational
listeners.

I guess there are still some that get a little to wrapped up in
irrelevant semantics and lose touch with the essence.

Only one fefinitive answer can be given, and the only person to give that
answer is Enya herself. If anybody knows her e-mail address, I would be
more than happy to write to her myself seeing how nobody has done so and
asked her. If they have written and asked her, please post the response
so we can end Mr. Hensley's suspense. Thanks in advance. God bless!! =-)

When did I say that I sas in "suspense"? I am personally sick of all the
"(whatever) is he/her christian?" threads on r.m.c.

The only reason I made the above post was because I was hoping to bring an
end to one of them.

Agreed!

Exactly!

Some people have to have things labelled them for them before they will accept
it. I suppose it makes things easier somehow.

I think it kind of sad personally.
I must take much of the mystery and wonder out of one's experiences...

And if someone gives *ME* her e-mail address (of which I'm skeptical one
exists) I'll ask her if she'll dine with me. I think it would be a toss-
up as to which letter she loated more.

I'm sure she doesn't have an e-mail address, at least one known to her
fans. And if she's smart, she won't let the world know, or else she'd be
spending her days looking at useless messages.

Some bonehead on r.m.c. accused enya of being a Druid.

Primarily because she mentions trees in a song.

Pretty narrow in my estimation...

Not that there is anything wrong with being a Druid however.

George -

The definitive answer is that Enya (as well as her entire family) is
Roman Catholic. This from Enya herself in numerous interviews.

**** Was **** catholic ... she has stated she no longer attends
regular mass ... she ***has*** stated countless times she retains the
spiritual aspect, though ... I imagine as most of us who were catholic
have.

I am surprised that there aren't a bunch of people raising hell because

Did anyone see last nights _Lois and Clark_?

It had this Druid Priest who had to do human sacrifice in order to
maintain his powers of something like that.

Where in the world did they get this story line anyway?

They didn't even have any Enya music playing...

So you're saying she is possessed, at least, from the rabid, fundamentalist
Protestant viewpoint?

Hello!!! I cannot believe people are discussing this. Enya has stated that she was
raised Catholic, but has her own religious beliefs. She loves hymns, and she loves
the beauty of nature and sometimes solitude. I am the biggest Enya fan on earth
(at least in my opinion), and I am also a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-Day Saints (aka Mromon.) Regardless of our own personal convictions (and
mine are strong), beauty can be found in many places. Enya's music is
transporting, and I feel close to God when I hear her music. I do not reject her or
her music because she doesn't accept my specific Christian beliefs. Too many
people in the world remain worried about segregating and relegating people who
do not share their same views. We should clean our own homes before pointing
out that another's is dirty. I am grateful for all the good things that I have been
blessed with in my life, and Enya is definitely one of them.
