Please remember Neil and Sue as they are baptised into the British Orthodox Church on Wednesday 28th April, and for me as I baptise them.

And also for Keith who is being baptised into the British Orthodox Church on 2nd May.

    The angels rejoice for another has taken on the Name of Christ, the Savior of the World.

    No greater ministry is there for a priest than to uphold, and offer the Seven Holy Mysteries.

    This is why priests are so special.  They deserve the highest esteem.

    Both yourself Fr. Peter and the three to be Baptised will be remembered in my Prayers.

    The baptisms and marriage went very well indeed. It was a great blessing.

    Many thanks for those who prayed.

    Wonderful news!!!!!!

    What's their story? How did they come to know the Orthodox Church?

    God bless them, and help them to be good witnesses and children of God.

    I can say that they are from a recent protestant background, have been interested in Orthodoxy for a while, had some mixed experiences, but seem to have felt at home as soon as they found the British Orthodox Church.

    They will need to share more of their story if they choose. I don't know if they visit here,

    It is still by immersion. They may wear clothes.
