The Whole Earth Shall Cry Glory: Iona Prayers

"For George MacLeod the material is the vehicle of the spiritual and is therefore holy: if Christ is in all things, everything is every blessed thing, and the political as well as the personal comes under his sovereignty. The whole earth shall cry glory! It is a theology of incarnation and a theology of transfiguration, with a high view of the church. George’s radicalism is therefore a matter of roots: and the roots are to be found in personal and public worship of a holy yet accessible God, who is in and through all things. In G.F. MacLeod the prophetic and the priestly come together in a unique way. These prayers come out of this context." -- Ron Ferguson, former Leader of the Iona Community
