British Orthodox Church Shares Orthodox Faith with British People in Their Own Culture

The Orthodox Church Info blog reports today (May 1, 2010) that the British Orthodox Church has revamped its official website.

The British Orthodox Church is a small Orthodox jurisdiction -- canonically part of the Coptic Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria -- with the mission of sharing the good news of the Orthodox Faith with the people of the British Isles in their own culture.

The British Orthodox Church was originally established in 1866 when a Frenchman, Jules Ferrette, was consecrated as a bishop by the Syrian Orthodox Church with the purpose of re-establishing Orthodoxy to the West.

While its aim is to help British people discover that they can be canonically Orthodox and at the same time remain British, the British Orthodox Church warmly welcomes all people who wish to worship, regardless of their culture.
