The Fellowship of St Alban and St Sergius exists to pray and work for Christian Unity and to encourage friendly relationships
between Christians of Eastern and Western traditions.
There is a local (North West) branch coordinated by Fr Ian Gomersall (Parish Priest of St Chrysostom's) and Fr Gregory Hallam
(Priest at St Aidan's (Anthiochian) Orthodox Church, Levenshulme). Fr Gregory maintains a website for the local branch.
Meetings are open to everyone, and there is no charge. (Donations to help running costs are welcome).
RECENT MEETINGS
February 2nd 2008 at St Chrysostom's: St John Chrysostom, a Saint for all Christians.
St John Chrysostom is honoured throughout Christianity. This day of worship, talk and discussion was an opportunity for
Christians of both East and West to experience one another's worship, to meet informally, and to learn from one another.
We welcomed His Eminence Metropolitan Kallistos of Diokleia to this day. Metropolitan Kallistos is a leading Orthodox Bishop
and academic.
The day began with Hierarchical Orthodox Liturgy, for the Feast of the Meeting of our Lord. This was followed by lunch and at
1.15pm Fr Ian Gomersall gave a talk about the role of St John Chrysostom in the Anglican Communion - from a historical
perspective. At 2pm Metropolitan Kallistos spoke on St John Chrysostom in Orthodox Christianity. The day finished with Choral
