Orthodox Church of Great Britain

Anglo-Saxon & Celtic Orthodoxy is about the Orthodoxy of The British Isles, Low Countries and parts of France, Scandinavia in the first millennium and how it might be developed now. "The Church in The British Isles will only begin to grow when She begins to again venerate Her own Saints" (Saint Arsenios of Paros †1877)
Serious overview of (only a few of) the indigenous Orthodox Saints and Martyrs of the Ancient Church - who lived and propagated the Faith in the British Isles,England, Ireland and other lands, during the first millennium of Christianity and prior to the Great Schism , in our desire to inform our readers who may not be aware of the significant history, the labours or the martyrdom of this cloud of Orthodox Saints of the original One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church of our Lord.

May we all have their blessings!
