The Iona comunity is an ecumenical community of men and women, seeking new ways of living the Gospel in today's world. This community was founded in 1938 by the Rev. George Macleod to be a sign of the common life of the Church in the world and to break down the barriers between praayer and politics, between the religious and the ordinary.

Members of the Community not only live on the island of Iona but throughout the UK and the rest of the world. They are bound together by a five-fold rule: Prayer, bible study, meeting together, accountability of their time and money, working for justice and peace.

The focus of the Community lies in the areas of ecumenical activity, working with the poor and the exploited, the struggle for justice and peace, the integrity of creation, action in relation to racism and inter-faith concerns, working with young people and the rediscovery of spirituality for today.
