A self-styled ‘Western Orthodox’ body in Britain, now part of the Coptic patriarchate. The leader of the church, the Metropolitan of Glastonbury, formerly derived his episcopal succession from various sources, of which three were ultimately Syrian: 1. Julius Ferrette (1828–1904), consecrated by the Syr. Orth. Metr. of Ḥimṣ (and later Patr. Peṭros III) in 1866; 2. Joseph René Vilatte, consecrated by Mar Julius Alvares, a Syr. Orth. bp. in India, in 1892; and 3. Ulrich Vernon Herford, consecrated by Mar Basilius (Luis Mariane Soares) a bp. of the Ch. of E. in India in 1902. All these consecrations were irregular and in later years neither of the churches concerned would recognize them. Since 1994, when the metropolitan was admitted to the Coptic synod, the church no longer emphasizes its Syrian-church connections. The Church’s magazine is the Glastonbury Review (see esp. no. 80 [July 1991], 18–28).
英国 (Britain) 一个自称“西方正教” (Western Orthodox) 的团体，现属于科普特宗主教区 (Coptic patriarchate)。该教会领袖，即格拉斯顿伯里都主教 (Metropolitan of Glastonbury)，其主教承继 (episcopal succession) 源自多种来源，其中三种最终源自叙利亚 (Syrian)：1. 朱利叶斯·费雷特 (Julius Ferrette, 1828–1904)，于 1866 年由叙利亚正教霍姆斯都主教 (Syr. Orth. Metr. of Ḥimṣ)（及后来的宗主教 (Patr.) 佩特罗斯三世 (Peṭros III)）祝圣；2. 约瑟夫·勒内·维拉特 (Joseph René Vilatte)，于 1892 年由马·朱利叶斯·阿尔瓦雷斯 (Mar Julius Alvares) 祝圣，后者为一位驻印度 (India) 的叙利亚正教主教 (Syr. Orth. bp.)；3. 乌尔里希·弗农·赫福德 (Ulrich Vernon Herford)，于 1902 年由马·巴西流斯 (路易斯·玛丽安·苏亚雷斯) (Mar Basilius [Luis Mariane Soares]) 祝圣，后者为印度 (India) 东方教会 (Ch. of E.) 的一位主教 (bp.)。所有这些祝圣均不规范，且在后来几年中，相关教会均不予承认。自 1994 年该都主教被接纳进入科普特主教会议 (Coptic synod) 以来，该教会不再强调其与叙利亚教会 (Syrian-church) 的联系。该教会杂志为《格拉斯顿伯里评论》(Glastonbury Review) (see esp. no. 80 [July 1991], 18–28)。
