Welcome

Exeter

Combe Martin

The Parish of the Holy Prophet Elias is one of many of the Russian Tradition in Western Europe that are under the omophorion of His All-holiness Bartholomew, the Ecumenical Patriarch.

Our senior bishop is Archbishop Gabriel of Comana, who lives in Paris, and  is the Exarch of the Ecumenical Patriarch. Our local bishop is Basil of Amphipolis who has responsibility for the communities in the Episcopal Vicariate of Great Britain and Ireland.

English is the main liturgical language of our community, although some Greek and Slavonic are also normally used. We follow the New (Revised Julian) Calendar.
