This DVD contains two very informative films about the Iona Community, together with an update by its current leader, Kathy Galloway. "The Iona Community": "Today's Challenge, Tomorrow's Hope" was filmed in 200 and gives a good idea of life and work at the community's centres on Iona and at Camas, where hundreds of visitors are welcomed each year. It also portrays some of the organisation's activities on the mainland. "Sermon in Stone" was made during the 1960s and has not been widely available for some time. It includes film from the archives of the Iona Community and shows the reconstruction of Iona Abbey from the late 1930s until the end of the 1960s. George Macleod, the founder of the community, features prominently.

'I sometimes take this map out - when I've been away from Iona for far too long a time - and read it like a poetry book: I gaze at the beautiful artwork and place names: 'Sacred hollow', 'The old man's hill', 'Port of the coracle', 'Bay at the back of the ocean', 'White strand of the monks', 'Port of black stones', 'The pigeons' cave'...Reading the map takes me back to all the magical and life-changing times I've had on Iona. It somehow helps me to find myself again and to rekindle the wonder.' IONA - burial place of Scottish kings and a cradle for Christianity over fifteen centuries - is situated off the island of Mull on the West Coast of Scotland. Each year it attracts over 120,000 visitors. This map is for all those visitors. It is also for all those around the world who will never make the physical journey. For it evokes the history and poetry of the isle of Iona, including detailed sections on the Abbey, the village, the geology of Iona and the 18-hole Iona 'golf course'. It is both for practical use and for taking you back to the sacred isle. This new edition has been extensively redrawn to reflect new and changed use of buildings, rerouted fence lines, etc. Available in folded and flat editions Folded edition: 580 x 825 mm folded to 105 x 150 mm, with laminated card pouch

This spiral-bound journal, with quotes to inspire your own reflections, is ideal for recording your thoughts, prayers and memories, whether used on a trip to Iona, at home or on your travels.

The services and resources in the Iona Abbey Worship Book reflect the Iona Community's commitment to the belief that worship is all that we are and all that we do, both inside and outside the church, with no division into the sacred and the secular. The material draws on many traditions, including the Celtic, and aims to help us to be fully present to God, who is fully present to us - in our neighbour, in the political and social activity of the world around us, and in the very centre and soul of our being. Each year, thousands of visitors make their way to Iona and many are changed by their time on this small Hebridean island which has been a powerful spiritual centre over the centuries. The Iona Community believes that we are brought to Iona not to be changed into 'religious' people, but rather to be made more fully human. Our common life - including our services - is directed to that end.
