History
Before 1995, only one Antiochian Orthodox community was around in England. On the 17th of October 2013, the Holy Synod of the Church of Antioch established the Archdiocese of the British Isles and Ireland.[1][2]
On the 24th of June 2015, after a period of deliberation, Archimandrite Silouan Oner was elected by the Holy Synod of the Church of Antioch to serve as the first Metropolitan of the Archdiocese. On the 30th of August 2015, Archimandrite Oner received his episcopal consecration at the Monastery of St. George, Al-Humraiyah in Syria.[3] Bishop Oner was enthroned on the 27th of February 2016.[2]
