Twenty-one years ago, the Very Rev. George MacLeod left the Clydeside Parish of Govan to rebuild the Abbey of Iona, and to seek the lost relationship between work and worship for modern man. Last Sunday the restored Cloisters, Sacristy, and St. Oran's Chapel were blessed.

Tonight Maurice Lindsay tells you of this work and of the work of the 150 members of the Iona Community, on the island, in Scotland, and throughout the world.
