Message from His Majesty King Charles III on the occasion of the enthronement of the Bishop of London and Great-British-Irish Nectari:
On the occasion of the enthronement of the newly elected Bishop of London and Great-British-Irish Mr. Nektari, I extend my heartfelt greetings to the Serbian Orthodox Church and the Serbian people.
I fondly remember my visit to Serbia in 2016. years, the time I spent with its His Holiness Patriarch Mr. Irinej of Serbia, and my visits to the Kovil Monastery, where I was graciously received by then Metropolitan and now His Holiness Patriarch Mr. Porfiry.
Today's ceremony represents the fulfillment of the decision of the Holy Council of Bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church to establish a British-Irish diocese for the first time. I very much hope that the establishment of this new diocese will contribute to the restoration and deepening of strong ties between the Serbian Orthodox Church and the Anglican Church, as well as between our peoples.
My wife joins us in extending our best wishes to Bishop Nektarije as he begins his pastoral ministry in our country.
