Tomorrow I will travel to
Scotland to be with Morag Liebert, RCWP. We will visit many holy places in our
time together and one place on our itinerary is
the Isle of Iona. Iona is described as a place where the divide between the
spiritual and the material is tissue-paper thin. Scotland, like my beloved
Ireland, is a country saturated with sacred places: standing stones, burial
cairns, holy wells and hermits’ caves, as well as myriad abbeys, monasteries
and churches in varying states of repair.
I will be visiting the Holy Island of Lindisfarne: In 635 AD Saint Aiden came from Iona and chose to found his monastery on Lindisfarne. The Christian message flourished here and spread throughout the world.

Another holy place in Scotland is Findhorn. Although we will not
visit Findhorn this time, I want to share with you a movie from Findhorn that
is most appropriate for us as we lead our church into a new century and we
select new leadership in our country.
The film “New Story Film: Change the Story, Change the World” is posted
on the Findhorn site at www.findhorn.org.
