This first six-part series of live-streamed video talks on Zoom will take place in English; in future the Diocese intends to run similar series also in Russian and in French.

Bishop Irenei made visitations to parishes in the north and east of England over the past weeks.

Bishop Irenei celebrated the Liturgy in Cardiff, where the Kazan Icon Parish has faced the longest COVID-related prohibition on public worship of any parish in the Diocese.
