We both love this church. It is kind, modern, tolerant, and is the most striking building in Oxford’s skyline. It melanges tradition plus modernity. It sits bestrides our two favourite bits of Oxford, hip/fun Jericho and the wonderful green space of Port Meadow + adjacent dramatic train track/canal zone. We feel that the design embraces syncretism, the founders wanted to build something as a testament to the deep roots of Christianity in the East and so bucked the trend of the traditional English styles, so the design is filled with Orthodox iconography, while the general architectural design is a nod to Catholic Torcello in Venice. The service is a High Church one, based on Oxford movement ideals, so it feels something Catholicism – the church Danny was raised in (and incidentally the church loved by Danny’s favourite author Graham Greene, who proposed to his wife on the adjacent canal towpath!) We love this church, the vibe is non-dogmatic, welcoming and humble, so according to our beliefs it feels close to the Christian message of non-judgemental-ism, spiritualism, & universal love. p.s Please note, there is not a lot of parking!

The reception takes place in this stunning manor house with 32 rooms and a pool, we hope it can be a really great party. The atmosphere and vibe harks back to the Tudor period when Anne Boleyn and her lover are alleged to have liaised here.
