The Orthodox Metropolis of Albion 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.
We are united in beliefs and doctrine with the One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church. The Orthodox Metropolis of Albion 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 serving Great Britain.
We are a hierarchically organised association whose vocation is to unite all Christians among themselves and to defend the faith. Our theology is based on the Nicene Creed, the Seven Sacraments, Holy Tradition and the Teaching of the Church Fathers.
Our mission 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 according to the Orthodox Christian faith and traditions. We are dedicated to Orthodox Christian evangelism. Our goal is to bring together Orthodox faithful into a united and coordinated effort, to spread the truth of Orthodoxy in our modern time, in other words; Orthodox Christianity in the 21st Century.
The Orthodox Metropolis of Albion considers that it 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.
Our Bishops, Priests and Laity, in observance of Our Lord's words, saying, "Who wants to be great among you, shall be servant of all" (St. Matthew 20:26) consider it necessary to build a Christian life with respect for the needs of Orthodox believers and all Christians and to safeguard the Bishop and Priest, in their obligations, to preserve and teach the truths of the authentic and genuine Orthodox Faith; with prayer and with viable, organized congregations, unconditional love for all, showing mercy and service to others.
We hold as sacred the Holy Scriptures, the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed of the Church, the Seven Sacraments and the teaching of the Church Fathers. We draw on the rich Eastern Christian Traditions 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.
