    Thought for Today

    Dear God, as we think of Jesus

    Posted on 12th November 2023 by Wild Goose Publications

    Dear God,
    as we think of Jesus
    we think not just of prayer and quiet retreat
    but of a life of action,
    of tables overturned,
    of lives touched and healed,
    endless walks through arid deserts to the next place of hurt and need.

    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.
