Open these pages and encounter Elder Sophrony. Elder Sophrony lived for many years in the ascetic stillness of Mount Athos before founding the Monastery of St John the Baptist in Essex. He was a theologian of divine vision, a bearer of the Hesychast tradition, a spiritual father, and a man of deep prayer who poured himself out in love for all. His writings preserve the hidden wisdom of the Orthodox Tradition — not through abstract language, but with a clarity and warmth that speaks straight to the heart. In him, the voice of the saints becomes accessible and deeply personal. It is this living witness that we are honoured to share with you now.
