The Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria has several churches in Great Britain and Ireland, under the jurisdiction of four diocesan bishops.[1] The first liturgical service prayed in the British Isles took place in London on 10 August 1954, officiated by delegates attending the general assembly of the World Council of Churches. The foundation of the church and its establishment of a parish started with a liturgical service held in London in February 1969, prayed by the Bishop of Christian Education, Shenouda (later Pope Shenouda III of Alexandria, the 117th Pope of the Church).[2] Regular services only began in 1971 when the first resident Coptic priest, Father Antuniyus al-Suryani (later Metropolitan Pakhomious of Beheira) celebrated the Divine Liturgy at Saint Andrew's Church, Holborn, London.[3] In 1976, the church council purchased a building in Kensington, establishing the Coptic Orthodox parish of St. Mark; this was served by three monastic priests, who later on became members of the Holy Synod of the mother church in Egypt.[4] Pope Shenouda III consecrated St. Mark's Coptic Orthodox Church in Kensington, London in 1979.[5] By 1981, other communities had been established around Britain and Ireland, with regular services at which visiting priests officiated, including the late Fr. Bishoy Boshra and Fr. Antonious Thabet.[6] In April 1985, St. Mary & St. Antony's Coptic Orthodox Church in Birmingham was consecrated by the first resident bishop sent to Britain, General bishop, Bishop Missael, making it the second church to be established in England and the first outside London.[7] Following the establishment of St. Mary & St. Mark's Coptic Orthodox Centre in Birmingham, Bishop Missael was consecrated on 26 May 1991 by Pope Shenouda III as the first bishop of the first Coptic Orthodox diocese in the British Isles, the Diocese of Birmingham,[8] which became the Diocese of the Midlands.[9] In 1995, Bishop Antony was consecrated with the formation of the Diocese of Ireland, Scotland, North East England and its Affiliated Regions. Fr. Angaelos Anba Bishoy (now Bishop Angaelos) of Archangel Michael & St. Anthony Coptic Centre in Stevenage was consecrated in 1999 as a general bishop and patriarchal exarch for the Youth Ministry at the Patriarchal Centre and the Coptic Orthodox Theological College. The Coptic Orthodox Church and congregation has continued to grow and expand in various parts of Britain and Ireland. Historical backgroundIt is known in the ecclesiastical history of the Church of Alexandria that the Church had sent missionaries in the 3rd or 4th century to the Celtic lands, especially monks.{{cn|date=October 2017}} It is also known within the Celtic tradition, especially in Ireland, that the foundation of the monastic system among the Celts was either based in portion on or inspired by the Egyptian monastic system, and there are many traces of Alexandrine theology embedded in Celtic theology.{{cn|date=October 2017}} Coptic Orthodox Diocese of Ireland, Scotland, North East England and its Affiliated RegionsBishop Antony, Bishop of the Holy Diocese of Ireland, Scotland and North East England.
