to the Community of St Nicholas
The Community of St Nicholas is a small Orthodox congregation in Central Scotland, based in Dunblane, near the towns of Stirling, Perth and Falkirk, and with rail links to Glasgow and Edinburgh. We worship in a converted one-storey cottage in the historic town of Dunblane in central Scotland. Some of us are British, others are of other national backgrounds. Services are mostly in English with a little Slavonic. Some services are held on Saturday rather than Sunday, due to public transport problems: many of us travel a significant distance to get to church. |

Our priest is Father Alexander Williams. He and his wife live next to the church. We are part of the Episcopal Vicariate of Great Britain and Ireland, under Bishop Basil (Osborne). This in turn forms part of the Archdiocese of Parishes of Russian Tradition in Western Europe, which is ultimately under the Ecumenical Patriarch. He is the "first among equals" of the Orthodox Patriarchs, and lives in Constantinople (Istanbul) with an office in Geneva. Our community is not wealthy but we hope it is friendly, and visitors are very welcome! We are small in numbers, but with a great vision for an Orthodoxy that is embedded in the culture of these islands. |
