'''Friends of Orthodoxy on Iona''' is a an informal group composed mainly of Orthodox Christians (but welcoming Christians of other traditions) dedicated to the memory and celebration of Orthodox Christianity on the Scottish island of [[Iona]], encouraging the veneration of Ionian [[saint]]s and other saints of the British Isles. Founded in 1997, the 1400th anniversary of the repose of St. [[Columba of Iona]], the group organizes [[pilgrimage]]s to Iona and other holy sites in Great Britain. One of the long-term goals of the organization is the re-establishment of an Orthodox [[monastery]] on Iona.
The group's chairman is Bishop [[Kallistos (Ware) of Diokleia]], who often leads the pilgrimages, and they have counted among their patrons Metropolitan [[Anthony (Bloom) of Sourozh]] until his repose in 2003. The current secretary is Bruce Clark.
