On 12 October 2016, the film will be shown at the Rossotrudnichestvo office in London on 37 Kensington High Street, FI 1st at 07.00 p.m. as an event of the UK-Russia Year of Literature and Culture shortly before the visit of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia due to take place on October 15-18, 2016.

Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk is the author of the film directed by Valery Shekhovtsov.

The film recounts the history of Orthodoxy in the British Isles: conversion of the archipelago’s peoples to Christianity, development of Christian churches there before the division between East and West and today’s state of the Orthodox Church in Great Britain.

Featuring in the film narrated by Sergei Vostretsov are Archbishop Yelisey of Sourozh, Archbishop Mark of Berlin, Germany and Great Britain, Archpriests Stephan Platt,  Raphael Armour and Benedict Ramsden, Rev. Joseph Skinner, Michael Wynne-Parker, and Metropolitan Kallistos of Diokleia.

An important place is given to some contemporary theologians and zealots of piety given to Orthodoxy by Britain, including Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh, Archimandrite Sophrony (Sakharov), and Metropolitan Kallistos (Ware) of Diokleia.

The film has been produced by the St. Gregory the Theologian Charity Foundation with the support of the Federal Agency for the Press and Mass Media.

Since you are here…

…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.

Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.

For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.

If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
