My nearest British Orthodox Church?

 

Are you interested in Orthodoxy?

You are not alone. Each year the number of Western Christians finding a secure, stable and transforming life in Orthodoxy is growing. The British Orthodox Church is made up almost entirely of converts from a wide range of Christian backgrounds, other religions and no faith at all. We have all come together to find the fulness of the Christian life in Orthodoxy.

We are very glad that you have taken the time to visit our website and we hope that these resources will help you understand a little more of what Orthodoxy is all about, experience something of our spiritual life, and even discover how you can be a part of real Christianity for yourself.

Orthodoxy has so much to offer the modern world. It has a stability of faith and doctrine that rejects our preoccupation with the immediate. Orthodoxy does not change its moral base to reflect the mores of those around us, rather it demands that we ourselves be transformed day by day. So the practice of any form of homosexuality, or indeed the practice of heterosexuality outside marriage, is not condoned. There is no agitation for the ordination of women. The Bible remains the central pillar of Church teaching, and the traditional doctrines about Christ are vigorously defended. Our life in the Church has the aim of transforming us, we do not seek to make the Church merely reflect our own spiritual mediocrity.

If you have any questions then please make sure you ask them. We will do our very best to support your spiritual pilgrimage as best we can.

 

 

It is always best to be in a relationship with a real Orthodox community, however small. This provides an enquirer with the chance to meet people face-to-face, talk through whatever issues are of interest and concern, experience Orthodox worship, and be properly instructed in the Orthodox Faith.

This isn't always possible, and the British Orthodox Church will support you as best we can wherever you are in the British Isles.

But if you submit your details below then we will try to locate a neaby Orthodox Church, not necessarily of the British Orthodox Church, which will provide you with some of the opportunities that a purely correspondence based relationship cannot. We have tried to carefully select the Churches that we recommend so that British enquirers find themselves in an environment which supports and welcomes your spiritual pilgrimage and which is ready to help you.
