Welcome to Martyria & Traditio in Britain

Welcome to Martyria et Traditio in Britain (MeTBritain). This site aims to be the home of resources and information for the Western Rite initiative within the Antiochian Orthodox Church in the British Isles. Our mission is to cultivate the rich traditions of Orthodoxy as they have been lived in these lands, through both the Western and Eastern Rites. The webpage is maintained by The Monastic Brotherhoods of Saints Alban and Æthelwold, and Our Lady and Saint Ninian. The monastics have, as a particular apostolate, the aim to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the Orthodox Church to the British People in a way that makes the best use of our own venerable heritage and apostolic tradition.

 

Our communities are centred at the Cathedral Church in Dumfries, Scotland, as well as at Botel Abbey, in Niddrie (Edinburgh), with further missions in and around London.
