  • Prayerbook 2014
    THE RULE OF THE IONA COMMUNITY MEMBERS Our five-fold Rule calls us to 1. Daily prayer and Bible-reading 2. Sharing and accounting for the use of our resources, including money 3. Planning and accounting for the use of our time 4. Action for Justice and Peace in society 5. Meeting with and accounting to each other. Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation Commitment We believe: 1 that the Gospel commands us to seek peace founded on justice and that costly reconciliation is at the heart of the Gospel; 2 that work for justice, peace and an equitable society is a matter of extreme urgency; 3 that God has given us partnership as stewards of creation and that we have a responsibility to live in a right relationship with the whole of God’s creation; 4 that, handled with integrity, creation can provide for the needs of all, but not for the greed which leads to injustice and inequality, and endangers life on earth; 5 that everyone should have the quality and dignity of a full life that requires adequate physical, social and political opportunity, without the oppression of poverty, injustice and fear; 6 that social and political action leading to justice for all people and encouraged by prayer and discussion is a vital work of the Church at all levels; 1 7 that the use or threatened use of nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction is theologically and morally indefensible and that opposition to their existence is an imperative of the Christian faith.
