Greek Orthodox Church
Churches in Shrewsbury, Shropshire
We bought our own church in 1994. In origin this church is very ancient dating to well before the Great Schism of 1054. It is therefore the 1st originally Orthodox church to be returned to Orthodoxy in Britain. Our parish belongs to that part of the Church under the Patriarch of Constantinople - known as the OEcumenical Patriarchate. It is, and always has been, a multi-national part of the Church. We're a mixed congregation of Greek, British, Romanian and Russian origins. Some of the members of our parish are converts to Orthodoxy.

You will see that we are a diverse community with many nationalities represented in our congregations. All are welcome, and while many of us come from traditional Orthodox countries - Greece, Cyprus, Romania, the Ukraine, Russia etc., many are British people who have found a home in Orthodoxy. This is a surprise for some and they may be equally surprised that most of our services are conducted in English, because it is our common language.
