Inclusivity at the Anglican Church of the Resurrection
A diverse community
Ours is an international Anglican congregation, bringing together people from many countries, traditions, and walks of life. Some members have been Christian for many years; others are exploring faith for the first time. Some come from Anglican backgrounds, while others come from Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant, or non-religious contexts. We believe this diversity is not a problem to overcome, but a gift to receive with gratitude.ork with children, young people, or vulnerable adults are safely recruited and receive regular safeguarding training.
Tradition & Reflection
The Anglican tradition has long held together Scripture, tradition, reason, and pastoral care in conversation with one another. In recent decades, many Anglican churches around the world have engaged in deeper reflection on questions of inclusion, belonging, accessibility, mental health, gender, sexuality, disability, and the role of the Church in an increasingly complex and diverse society. While perspectives across the Anglican Communion are not identical, there has been a growing desire in many places to ensure that churches are communities where people are listened to, treated with compassion, and welcomed without fear or exclusion.
All are welcome
At the Church of the Resurrection, we seek to embody that spirit of welcome in practical and meaningful ways. We want to be a church where:
- all are welcomed with kindness and respect
- questions can be asked honestly
- people are not reduced to labels or assumptions
- cultural and denominational differences are treated with care
- children and vulnerable people are safeguarded and protected
- faith and doubt can exist in conversation
- community is built through grace rather than perfection;
YOU are welcome!
Inclusivity, for us, is not about abandoning Christian faith, but about trying to reflect more faithfully the hospitality of Christ himself. We recognise that people arrive carrying different experiences of church, belief, identity, and belonging. We do not expect everyone to think alike, but we do ask that we approach one another with humility, generosity, and love.
Whether you are deeply rooted in faith, uncertain about belief, new to church, visiting Bucharest, or simply looking for a place of peace and prayer – you are welcome here.

Our History
For over a hundred years, our red-brick church has welcomed people from all nations to worship, learn, and grow together. Founded with the support of Queen Marie of Romania, the Church of the Resurrection has remained open through times of change and challenge, a steadfast witness of faith and hospitality in Bucharest.
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.
