Quick Summary

George MacLeod was a Scottish minister who founded the Iona Community in 1938. He was convinced that theology and actual life should be more closely connected, and that spiritual and material aspects of life should be intertwined, much like in the ancient Celtic church established by St. Columba on the island of Iona.12

The Iona Community is an ecumenical group of clergy and laypersons within the Church of Scotland. Members adhere to a rule of prayer and Bible study, and commit to social justice. The community's headquarters are in Glasgow, and they host services, meetings, and pilgrims on Iona.1
