London, March 2015. Delegation member His Eminence Archbishop Athanasius Toma Dawod, GCFO, Patriarchal Vicar of the Syriac Orthodox Church in the United Kingdom has asked for the assistance of the knights and dames of the Constantinian Order to support the essential renovation work on their new church building.
The congregation of the church has increased significantly in recent years due to the influx of Christians fleeing the persecution from the Middle East, mainly from Iraq and Syria. The church has struggled to accommodate the worshipers in their existing premises. The church has managed to purchase an old church which was on sale nearby, however the building requires considerable amount of renovation work before it can be used for services.
As most of the people arriving in recent years are refugees without resources to support the church, the Chancery of the Constantinian Order would be grateful to facilitate donations to the Syriac Orthodox Church. Donations can be made with a bank transfer using the following details:
