Iona Abbey

I thought I'd take some footage from inside the abbey. Sorry the lights weren't all on... I didn't know where the switch was.

The prayer I'm reading is from the Iona Abbey Worship Book:

Aaaand... that's all from me this week. I'll see you again on Monday.

Rohan, I love how you share your faith on YouTube without fear. The few times I've mentioned my love of Jesus on my channel, I've been so nervous of backlash. It seems like any mention of God can spark huge controversy over here on the tubes sometimes, but it's so encouraging to see videos like this which unashamedly and non-aggressively show a little bit of Christ. Lovely.

@imperfectcadences It's part of my life. If I didn't talk about it from time to time I would be being inauthentic.

The face in the wall at 0:23 is a little bit terrifying...otherwise, this is a lovely building.

[RoboFillet]

@moscowmasha I know, it seems so out of place, but it was there in the original Benedictine abbey as well! The face is my favourite part I think.

Now I feel kind of rude.

[RoboFillet]

@marionhoney You're not rude. I laughed!

Yay we got to go somewhere! :) You know, it's really refreshing to just see simple videos like this because sometimes I feel like God is just assumed to be irrelevant on Youtube. Like it seems impossible to bring the cornerstone of my life into a conversation without it being a huge debate. But this was a nice breath.

Great video! Great prayer! Amen!

One thing that I love about you in general is your public loving display of your faith.

Hey Ro,

I'm so glad to see the abbey again after having been back in "civilisation" for a couple of months. I miss it so much. Thank you for reminding me of how close I felt to God on Iona through demonstrating your own faith in this simple, focused manner.

Blessings! =]

amazing thank you for sharing this! It's nice to see videos about god!

I don't know if I can say this quite as eloquently as some others in the comments. But this video was lovely. And exactly what I needed today. Thank you Rohan for a quiet and refreshing moment. I truly appreciate it.

@imperfectcadences I am the exact same way. I pretty much always feel like I'm not allowed to bring up my faith on Youtube or in Nerdfighteria because everyone will freak out and state a debate.

Thank you Rohan.

I've been having a not good week, or rather a week with not good things alongside lots of little blessings which make me smile and this video is one of them. I need to stop, breathe and listen and this was a lovely part of that.
