A book of personal stories exploring how Iona Community members live out the commitment to justice, peace and wholeness which is part of the community Rule. It tells of extraordinary actions from ordinary folk as they campaign, offer hospitality and stand alongside those on the margins of society.
In 2004, the Iona Community became concerned that many of those who could bear witness to its early days were by then in their 70s or 80s. As a result, they commissioned an oral history project, so that their testimonies would not be lost. This book is based on the recordings of their stories.
