The Iona Community is:

An ecumenical movement of people from different walks of life and different traditions in the Christian church.
Committed to the gospel of Jesus Christ, and to following where that leads, even into the unknown.
Engaged together, and with people of goodwill across the world, in acting, reflecting and praying for justice, peace and the integrity of creation.
Convinced that the inclusive community it seeks must be embodied in the community it practises.
