St. Mark's Coptic Orthodox Church is a church in Kensington, London. The building was previously known as St John's Presbyterian Church and was opened in 1863.[1]
History
In 1975 St John's was sold to the Coptic Orthodox Church and has been home to the congregation of St Mark's ever since. The church was consecrated by Pope Shenouda III of Alexandria in 1979, [2] as the first Coptic church in Europe.[3]
