The Iona Community is to submit a report to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in which it celebrates its achievements in advancing Christian understanding, justice and peace throughout the country over the last year.
One of the greatest successes of the community is the work currently being undertaken by its Glasgow-based youth team as it continues with a number of projects across the city, including global education in schools, with socially-excluded young people and in youth leadership development.
The Glasgow group recently teamed up with Polmont Young Offenders Institute to develop the Jacob Project, which offers young offenders and ex-offenders positive alternatives to re-offending.
