Iona
,→Orthodoxy and Iona Today
Their chairman is Bishop [[Kallistos (Ware) of Diokleia]], who often leads the pilgrimages, and they have counted among their patrons Metropolitan [[Anthony (Bloom) of Sourozh]] until his repose in 2003.
Unhappily, the Friends are based in London, and very few take any interest in Scottish Orthodoxy more generally, beyond valuing Iona as a location for annual retreat. In this its social values are (like its membership) akin to those of the ex-Anglican component of the [[Diocese of Sourozh]]. Ironically, it is precisely such a sentimentalised and otherworldly vision of Iona which the Iona community itself seeks to oppose through its commitment to social justice.
