Support the St George Orthodox Ministry

Support St George Orthodox Ministry

The St George Orthodox Ministry is one among many in the different Orthodox Churches which is sharing the Orthodox Faith with British people. This ministry serves within the Patriarchal Diocese of the Coptic Orthodox Church, and is under the care of His Grace Bishop Angaelos. We have only this ambition, to be able to share our Coptic Orthodox Faith and Life with the British people around us. This ministry has a blessing to be active at present in Stoke, Swindon and Portsmouth, and in each place there are converts and catechumens, and a great desire to share our Orthodoxy.

We are organising Orthodox services, meetings to study the Bible and the teachings of our Church Fathers, showing Orthodox instructional videos, holding Orthodox study days on our Orthodox spirituality, producing teaching materials and videos, and many other activities which support our missionary work among British people. This website is one aspect of our service, and is becoming the central location for much of the material we are producing.

The St George Orthodox Ministry is required to be self-supporting, and must depend on the financial resources generously provided by the members of the the Coptic Orthodox communities being established in Stoke, Swindon and Windsor, and also by friends and supporters around the world.

The committed members of each of these groups are supporting the funding of this missionary ministry as far as they are able. But there are costs of hiring places to worship and organise meetings, the expense of fuel and road tolls incurred in Father Peter travelling around the country to lead these missions, the costs of producing materials to teach our Orthodox faith to others. Even when these are reduced as far as is possible, the present cost of this missionary activity is more than the committed members can bear themselves.

The St George Orthodox Ministry is not asking for unlimited support, just that assistance which will allow us to establish these missionary communities as self-sufficient and able to cover the cost of this missionary ministry themselves.

Will you consider helping to support the missionary activity being conducted in these three places? Your kindness will be much appreciated, either in a single donation or by a regular commitment. As these communities grow in God’s will it is our intention that they should bear all of the costs associated with this ministry, but at this early stage the help of other friends around the world, in prayer and in generosity, is required. At the moment we need to raise £500 a month to cover the costs of this missionary ministry.

Can we find just 50 people around the world who will commit to even as little as £5 a month for this next year to support our Coptic Orthodox missionary activity?

May the Lord bless you.
