Welcome to the Official Website of The Orthodox Metropolia of Great Britain with its headquarters located in London, Great Britain. We are part of the Patriarchate of Antioch & Jerusalem. We are members of the Eastern Orthodox body, united in beliefs and doctrine with the One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church.

The Orthodox Metropolia of Great Britain serves as a beacon, carrier, and witness of the message of Christ to all people through divine worship, preaching, teaching, and living of the Orthodox Christian Faith. We are headed by a Metropolitan Archbishop. 

We are  committed to proclaim the Gospel to those who have not heard it, to do charity work to those who are in need regardless of: background, age, disability, gender, race, religion and belief and to foster according to Gospel values; peace, justice and the integrity of the creation worldwide, to defend the human rights of every individual and to work for unity between the Orthodox and other Christians.

Our Eastern Christian Tradition places us within the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church of God. We hold as sacred the Holy Scriptures, the ancient Creeds of the Church, the Seven Sacraments and governance through valid Episcopal Orders.

The Orthodox Metropolia of Great Britain draw on the rich Eastern Christian Traditions of the Holy Orthodox Church spirituality to help ourselves and others to discern God’s presence in our lives. As contemplatives in action, it bring this spirituality into the wider human context as it strive for social justice, charity work, peace, education, dialogue and Church unity.

We are dedicated to Orthodox evangelism, its goal is to bring together Orthodox faithful into a unified and coordinated effort, to spread the truth of Orthodoxy in our modern time, in other words; Orthodox Christianity in the 21st Century.
