A COMMUNITY MEETING WILL FOLLOW THE DIVINE LITURGY ON SUNDAY 29TH JUNE

 

Clergy:

Fr Æthelwine is a priest of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch. He and Matoushka Susanna are much travelled in the Middle East, where our Patriarch, His Beatitude Ignatios IV, has his Patriarchate in Damascus.

Fr Deacon Michael, also of the Patriarchate of Antioch, and currently a student at York St John University, and Fr Deacon Peter, a former Church of England Residentiary Canon, now a member of the Patriarchate of Antioch, were ordained earlier this year by His Excellency Metropolitan Kallistos of Diocleia by permission of our Patriarch and His Eminence Archbishop Gregorios of Thyateira and Great Britain.

 

Do You Like To Sing?-

Please be assured of a hearty welcome if you can already sing Russian chant, or if you simply enjoy singing and can read music. Our usual fortnightly Liturgies should not be too burdensome, and with full harmonies the music can be breathtaking. Things become more interesting, as the Chinese might put it, around Great Festivals, such as Nativity and Pascha.
