Foun
ded during the depression
years of the 1930s, the
Iona Community began when
George MacLeod took a
group of trainee
ministers and unemployed
shipworkers from Glasgow
to the island of Iona to
rebuild part of the
ancient abbey. It was a
sign of hope in dark
times, but also an
experiment in training
for ministry and mission
through living in
community. Over sixty
years later, the
Community is still
committed to a
spirituality of
engagement and challenge
and continues to thrive
as a dispersed group of
members, associates, and
friends all over the UK
and many other countries.
This video features work
and worship at the Abbey,
MacLeod and Camas centers
on the Iona Community,
special archive footage
of the rebuilding work
and community life, and a
look into the Community's
base in Glasgow and other
sites on the mainland. In
addition to being a
wonderful introduction to
the Iona Community, this
film is also an ideal
starting point for anyone
considering a visit to
the island of Iona.
