It’s a joy to welcome guests to Iona Abbey. At its best the experience of community can be transformational. The programme is part of that change.
In November’s Sounds of Iona, Caro Penney, warden of Iona Abbey reflects on how we might act and pray for innocents caught in the midst of war.
During Black History Month, we will celebrate and continue to learn from Black Christian leaders who have inspired the Iona Community.
In October’s Sounds of Iona, Ruth Harvey, Leader of the Iona Community considers the hope and courage we need to keep showing up.
Every Tuesday, Iona Abbey guests are led by staff and volunteers on a pilgrimage around Iona. It is a weekly highlight for all.
In August, the Iona Community moves into its new festival home at Greenbelt. Wild Goose will be the Greenbelt Festival venue for daily worship, writers’ events and workshops.
With so much busy-ness and stretch in our Community life at this time of year it felt like a struggle to take the time to pause. But what a delight to join the Young Adults Group (YAG) on pilgrimage.
