Who are we?
St Dunstan's is one of the Guild Churches in the City of London, built in
1831 following the destruction of the original church, which dated from
around 1070.
Anglican worship
We have a short Anglican Eucharist each Tuesday lunchtime at 12.30pm, to
which you are very welcome.
Most of our congregation work near
Fleet Street and come here to worship during their working day.
Orthodox worship
At weekends St Dunstan's is used by our brothers and sisters from the
Romanian Orthodox Church for their worship.
There is a large community led by Fr
Petre who have worshipped here since 1960, and all services are in Romanian.
Our mission
We are a centre of prayer for Christian Unity, with a primary focus on
dialogue with the Byzantine and Oriental Orthodox churches. We are London's
Church for Europe, and our Guild Vicar also works for the Diocese in Europe.
Prayer
Our Lord prayed that his disciples might be one as he and his Father were
one. We pray that the Unity, which is Christ's gift to his Church, might be
a reality as a sign of the ultimate coherence of all things in Christ.
History
St Dunstan's is a Grade I listed building with a wealth of history both
inside and out.
Visitors are very welcome to look
around - there is a guide book on sale, and volunteers from the Friends of
the City Churches are here each Tuesday to welcome visitors.
Crypt project
We hope to launch a major renovation project to transform our Crypt into a space for conferences, lectures, community work, social functions and business events.
Restoration projects
We are fundraising to restore our organ, built in 1834.
We are also hoping to restore the statues of Queen Elizabeth and King Lud in our churchyard with the help of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings.
