Paul Kyle:

Paul was the resident Bard at the symposium which launched the St. Aidan Trust in 1994. A physician, pastor, songwriter and musician, Paul along with his wife Hilary and their eight children lived in a Christian community in Belfast, Northern Ireland. However, even at the time of the symposium God was already calling them to launch the Kyle coracle into the deep, wide ocean -- both literally and figuratively. Landing at last in Minneapolis, MN they formed Coming King Ministries and now travel across the US and the world brining the Good News of Jesus Christ in an inimitable style of Celtic Christian song and stories.

Gilbert’s Journal

The name “Gilbert” means “Bright Hostage” and it is shared across three generations of Kyles from Paul’s father to his son. Paul was given “prophetic words” by Christian friends that he was to write and publish three CD’s about the Kyle’s voyage into America. Below are the contents of the first and third of these along with some audio excerpts from select songs on each CD.
