At the head of the Diocese is His Grace, Bishop Nektarios (Samard\u017ei\u0107) of Britain and Ireland<\/strong>who was enthroned in 2024. Under his spiritual leadership, the diocese continues the missionary work begun decades ago, at a time when the first Serbian immigrants started forming Orthodox communities in the United Kingdom and Ireland.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
