Reception into the Episcopal Vicariate of Great Britain and Ireland

Today, 12th Feb 2007, Fr Timothy was received and ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Basil. This means that the Orthodox Community of St Drostan is now within the Exarchate of Parishes of Russian Tradition within Western Europe under the Ecumenical Patriarch. It is a joy to be fully in communion with Bishop Basil and we look forward to working with our brothers and sisters in Christ in Dunblane, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Inverness to care for the souls of local people in Orthodoxy as well as new migrants from eastern Europe.
