about us
Welcome to the Official Website of The Orthodox Metropolis of Albion. We are an Eastern Orthodox Christen Metropolis. Our members are, clergy, monastic and faithful, all dedicated to the worldwide mission to share Faith, Prayer, Church Teachings, Charity Work, Unity, Dialogue, Traditions, Human Rights and Persecution matters.
The Orthodox Metropolis of Albion, with its headquarters located in the City of London is an Eparchy of the Patriarchate of Antioch and Jerusalem. The Metropolis of Albion serves as a beacon, carrier, and witness of the message of Christ to all persons who live in Great Britain, through divine worship, preaching, teaching, and living of the Orthodox Christian Faith.
Our members live a simple lifestyle in the community, serve the poor, and resist social injustice. Most are grounded in the Gospel, prayer, and the Christian faith.
We are governed by a Metropolitan Archbishop who is the Primate. Although we are an independent canonical Orthodox jurisdiction, we submit ourselves both spiritually and traditionally to the Archbishop of Constantinople-New Rome and Ecumenical Patriarch.
We consider ourselves united and unified with our other sisters Eastern Churches by; Scripture, Doctrine, Holy Tradition, the Seven Ecumenical Councils, Seven Sacraments and the teaching of the Church Fathers.
We draw on the rich Eastern Christian Tradition to help ourselves and others to discern God’s presence in our lives. As contemplatives in action, we bring this spirituality into the wider human context as we strive for the Christian faith, social justice, charity work, peace, education, dialogue and Church unity.
The mission of the Metropolis is to proclaim the Gospel of Christ, to teach and spread the Orthodox Christian Faith, to energize, cultivate, and guide the life of the Church Great Britain according to the Orthodox Christian Faith and Tradition.
The Orthodox Metropolis of Albion sanctifies the faithful through divine worship, especially the Holy Eucharist and other Sacraments, building the spiritual and ethical life of the faithful in accordance with the Holy Scriptures, Sacred Tradition, the doctrines and canons of the Ecumenical and local Councils, the canons of the Holy Apostles and the Fathers of the Church and of all other Councils recognized by the Orthodox Church.
We serve all who Christ brings to our doors or who He takes us to on the streets. All set at Christ's table, Christians and others, we serve all. All are welcome
