"The Church in The British Isles will only begin to grow when she begins to again venerate her own Saints."  

  (Saint Arsenios of Paros †1877)

All the Saints who shone forth in the West before its departure from the Church, are Orthodoxy Christian Saints. Below are provided some links to beneficial information regarding West's "Orthodox Christian roots".
