Iona

It is this memory of acceptance and awe that I shared with the Iona Community while singing in the abbey that has stayed with me long after I left this sacred place. It is a spiritual feeling unrivaled by anything I have experienced at home before or since. No words can better sum up how I feel about my pilgrimage to Iona better than this verse we sang together from the hymn “All Are Welcome” on our last night – “all are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place!”
