History
Before 1995, only one Antiochian Orthodox community was around in England. On 17 October 2013, the Holy Synod of the Church of Antioch established the Archdiocese of the British Isles and Ireland.[3][4]
On 24 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 30 August 2015, Oner received his episcopal consecration at the Monastery of St. George, Al-Humraiyah in Syria.[5] Oner was enthroned on 27 February 2016.[4]
