ABSTRACT
To many people mention of Orthodoxy conjures up pictures of something foreign and exotic: a white-washed monastery on a Greek island or the onion-shaped domes of Saint Basil’s Cathedral in Moscow, towering over Red Square. But in the course of the twentieth century a whole variety of Orthodox communities took root both in Britain and the United States, first as a result of emigration from traditionally Orthodox countries and more recently as a consequence of increasing interest in the distinctive forms of faith and practice developed in the eastern half of the Christian world.
