Forerunner Archive

ArchiveThe Orthodox Fellowship of Saint John the Baptist publishes a twice-yearly journal called "Forerunner". This is sent to all members of the Fellowship.

It includes articles about matters of interest to Orthodox Christians as well as information about activities and events in UK and elsewhere, both those organised by the Fellowship and those organized by other bodies.

A selection of articles from recent editions can be found by following the links below:

Please note that only the teaching articles are published here up until Summer 2009, from when most of the other Forerunner material is archived as well.  On account of formatting problems sometimes only the endnotes are included, not footnotes.
