Many stakeholders of our Deanery would like us to be as professional as possible when running our parishes, bearing in mind that we are mostly volunteers. The Archdiocese requires us to meet certain norms, parents, carers and families want us to safeguard our people, donors want us to safeguard the funds and property that they give us. To help communities and parishes with these complex tasks, the deanery has developed a set of up-to-date constitutional material to make sure that we are using all the latest tools available to us.

Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh (1914–2014) Centenary Conference
November 15th – 16th 2014 King’s College London.

Please Note Full Programme  and Timetable now available below.

The conference is organised by the ‘Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh Foundation’, and it's the sixth in Western
Europe to be held in his memory, celebrating the centenary of his birth.

We will look at his spiritual and theological vision and teaching, and at him as a person, in that what he preached was inseparable from what he tried to live.

The Fellowship of St Alban and St Sergius is pleased to present details of this year's Conference, taking place at High Leigh Conference Centre

Held 1st of July 2014

Father John’s funeral was magnificent, befitting the man. As the large congregation gathered to venerate his body while the clergy read the Gospel, we were given time to reflect on just how important was the occasion; and how large a part Father John had played in so many lives. There was an air of expectation, which was fulfilled when Shanta and family, with the women resplendent in white saris, processed with great dignity into the church.

The future Archpriest John Lee was born John Samuel Lee in Mercer County, Pennsylvania.  His family were farmers, on one side Scottish, the other Ukrainian.
