Welcome to this personal website of Father Peter Farrington, a priest of the Coptic Orthodox Church serving in the UK in the Diocese of the Midlands under His Grace Anba Misael.
You will find a wide selection of articles, audio and video resources here which are hopefully of some use and interest to those who visit this site.

Please visit this site often to see the latest materials I have produced and published here.
God bless you in all things.
