The Iona Community is an international, ecumenical Christian movement working for justice and peace, the rebuilding of community and the renewal of worship.
Our Community was founded in Glasgow in 1938 by Rev George MacLeod. A visionary and a social reformer, MacLeod was driven by a belief that faith is grounded in action. In rebuilding the ruined accommodation at Iona Abbey, trainee ministers and unemployed workers lived, worked and worshipped together.
We are now about 280 Members and more than 2,000 Associate Members, Young Adults and Friends across the world. We remain true to that founding vision – sharing common work and community as we pursue justice and peace, in Scotland and beyond.
Vacancies
Working for, or volunteering with the Iona Community is a wonderful opportunity to make a positive difference in the world. We have around twenty permanent members of staff, most of whom are based on the mainland and a further fifteen or so staff who are resident on Iona or at Camas. Each year, a number of volunteers join the team and greatly enhance our community.
