Fruitful Cooperation between the Diocese of Great Britain and Ireland and the Portal Kinonia

With the blessing of His Grace, Bishop Nektarije of London and Great Britain and Ireland, the Information Service of the Diocese of Great Britain and Ireland and the missionary portal Kinonia have been cultivating  fruitful collaboration aimed at advancing more concrete missionary activity through the use of contemporary information technologies.

On the official website of the Diocese of Great Britain and Ireland (eparhija.uk), a significant number of the Kinonia portal texts have been reposted, both in Serbian and in English.

In keeping with the Lord’s command, “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15), the portal Kinonia and the Information Service of the Diocese of Great Britain and Ireland will further develop a more concrete missionary cooperation, offering the faithful spiritual nourishment in the form of both the written and the spoken word. Visitors to our portal will be duly informed of all relevant details.

We recall that at the ceremonial gathering marking the first anniversary of the portal Kinonia, held in the grand hall of the Parish House of the Temple of Saint Sava in Vračar on 14 September 2025, the Missionary Department of the Archbishopric of Belgrade–Karlovci and the portal Kinonia. awarded His Grace, Bishop Nektarije of London and Great Britain and Ireland a certificate of appreciation in gratitude for fruitful missionary collaboration. Deacon Filip Milivojević accepted the certificate on behalf of the absent Bishop.

We express our heartfelt gratitude to His Grace, Bishop Nektarije of London and Great Britain and Ireland, and to the Information Service of the Diocese of Great Britain and Ireland for their fruitful cooperation, and we look forward to an even closer one in the field of the Church’s mission.
