The Anglican Church of Bucharest, Romania

About Us​

about us

Heritage and identity

We are a diverse community of faith, rooted in history, engaged locally, and united in Christ.

Now a Bucharest landmark, our unique red-brick,
neo-gothic style church was built in 1913 for
the city’s long-established Anglican community.

Our Christian faith is at our core. We belong to
the Church of England’s Diocese in Europe and
are part of the worldwide Anglican Communion.

We honor our history, which includes one of
Romania’s greatest personalities: Queen Marie
helped build the church and often worshipped here.

Part of the Parcul Gradina Icoanei neighborhood,
we seek to engage in our local community and
remember our place in God’s beautiful creation.

Who We Are

We welcome all who are seeking and those who profess the Christian faith, regardless of their denomination.

We are a congregation of the Church of England’s Diocese in Europe, and our community is global, made up of people from a wide variety of Christian traditions.

Children and families are always welcome.

Music is an extremely important part of our services. We sing parts of the liturgy together as well as classic Anglican hymns, accompanied by our excellent organist, Adina Cocargeanu. An Order of Service is provided for use so the liturgy is easy to follow. Our services are always in English, and you can see the Order of Service here.

An informal time of tea and coffee is held afterwards to allow people to meet and get to know each other. Our services are run by volunteers and it is easy to get involved.

Today, we are a vibrant, international Anglican community — united in prayer, service, and friendship — continuing a tradition of openness and care at the heart of the city.

“For what will it profit them, if they gain the wh “For what will it profit them, if they gain the whole world but forfeit their life?”
— Matthew 16:26

Father Nevsky is back from his summer holiday and started again the regular Sunday Eucharist services. Today, he preached for us by starting with a poem of Rainer Maria Rilke.

Rilke wrote of living life in ,,widening circles”, reaching ever further into the world and ultimately towards God. Jesus shows us that this widening comes through the way of the Cross: self-denial, sacrifice and love.

The world tells us to seek success, wealth and power. But in Christ, we discover that true freedom is found not in gaining the whole world, but in giving ourselves to God.

As we take up our cross and follow Christ, our lives are slowly shaped by cruciform Love and we find ourselves infinitely loved and free.

“But who do you say that I am?” This morning, we “But who do you say that I am?”

This morning, we gathered for a service of Morning Prayer, led by Richard, one of our Churchwardens. Our sermon was delivered by Nicholas, a Church Council member, who reflected on this deeply personal question Jesus asks his disciples.

We live in a world that constantly tries to tell us who we are, defining us by our work, our achievements, our failures, our status, or what others think of us. But when Jesus asks, “Who do you say that I am?”, the question also invites us to discover who we are in relation to him.

Peter answers: “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

Peter was far from perfect. He was impulsive, made mistakes and sometimes got things spectacularly wrong. Yet Jesus chose him. A reminder that the Church is not built from perfect people, but from ordinary people who put their trust in Christ.

And that faith changes how we live.

As St Paul tells us, we are called not to conform to the world, but to be transformed. Our faith is lived out in ordinary things: in how we speak to one another, how we forgive, how we care for those who are lonely or in need, and how we use the gifts we have been given.

We do this together. Each of us has a place and a purpose within the body of Christ. The person welcoming someone at the door or making tea and coffee is just as much a part of that body as the person standing at the front of the church. We belong to one another.

As a new week begins and the world once again asks us who we are, may we hear Jesus’ question too:

“But who do you say that I am?”

And in answering it, may we remember our own identity: loved, forgiven, and sent out together to be Christ’s hands and feet in the world.

This Sunday, we talked in the Gospel about Mary, a This Sunday, we talked in the Gospel about Mary, about the completion of her earthly life and about the hope we proclaim for ourselves: the resurrection of the body and life everlasting.

We are made up of body and soul, created and loved by God and we trust that body and soul will be redeemed. The stories we tell about heaven can satisfy our very human desire for certainty, which is to know that there is something beyond the here and now, something that helps everything make sense.

But today’s feast reminds us of something greater: salvation is not an escape from the world, but the promise that our humanity is taken up into the life of God.

Have a blessed Sunday!

This Sunday, Nevsky was back in Bucharest to keep This Sunday, Nevsky was back in Bucharest to keep the service, with a beautiful theme of silence: something that can feel uncomfortable, even terrifying, but can also become a place where we meet God.

We were reminded that when the noise and distractions fall away, so do some of the things we try so hard to control. We don’t need to fear our lack of control, what others think of us or whether we are good enough for God.

It was especially meaningful to see Cameron renew his baptismal promises and Kaya be baptised. It was a lovely reminder of Jesus reaching out his hand to us in the middle of the storm, calling us into new life.

It was a special and moving Sunday and a reminder that in the quiet, we are held and immeasurably loved!

We gathered together this Sunday for a wonderful M We gathered together this Sunday for a wonderful Morning Prayer led by Council Member Nicholas, with Churchwarden Monica sharing the sermon. Continuing our theme of the Kingdom of Heaven, we reflected on what it looks like in action through the only miracle recorded in all four Gospels: the feeding of the five thousand.

Building on last week's message, we were reminded that the Kingdom of God is not only vast and all-encompassing, but also deeply practical and present in our everyday lives. Jesus described the Kingdom as a mustard seed, yeast, hidden treasure and a great net, images that reveal God's transforming presence in the world. Yet in Matthew 14, He brought those truths to life in a tangible way by feeding more than five thousand people with just five loaves and two fish.

This remarkable miracle, the only one included in all four Gospels, demonstrated God's abundant provision, compassion and the reality of His Kingdom breaking into the world. It inspired such awe among those who witnessed it that, in John's Gospel, the crowd wanted to make Jesus their earthly king.

We were also delighted to welcome back our organist, @adinacocargeanupianist, from her travels. It was wonderful to have her sharing her musical gifts with us once again!

Thank you to everyone who joined us. We pray that the message continues to encourage and inspire throughout the week!
