And whilst the Diocese of Sourozh was numerically far smaller than the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Thyateira and Great Britain ( the local British Diocese of the Ecumenical Patriarchate ), Metropolitan Anthony considered the Diocese of Sourozh to be ' the Orthodox Church in Britain ' simpliciter, on the grounds that it was open to all and not only to those of a particular ethnic background ( as he took the Diocese of Thyateira to be ).

* Metropolitan Anthony had in fact been petitioning the Patriarch since 2001 that Hilarion come to Sourozh as an assistant bishop ( something subsequently confirmed by the Holy Syond's commission of enquiry, who stated that ' the appointment of Bishop Hilarion ... came about exclusively in connection with the repeated and insistent demands of Metropolitan Anthony ');

It has been reported that Bishop Basil stated at this time that ' he had no future in the Patriarchate ', and attempted unsuccessfully to persuade Metropolitan Anthony to remove Sourozh from the jurisdiction of the Moscow Patriarchate.

Subsequently, Bishop Basil also claimed that, with the full knowledge of Metropolitan Anthony, ' letters of dismissal ' were prepared for clergy of the Diocese of Sourozh, to enable them to transfer out of the Diocese to another jurisdiction.

There were also concerns at this time over Metropolitan Anthony's announcement that he wished to be succeeded as head of the diocese by Bishop Basil Osborne, an announcement which contravened both the statutes of the Moscow Patriarchate ( according to which bishops are appointed by the Holy Synod ) and those of the Diocese of Sourozh ( according to which the diocesan assembly determines episcopal appointment ).

Metropolitan Anthony's opposition to the group seeking to undermine and destroy the Diocese of Sourozh is forcefully expressed in an address he made to his London Parish on 12 December 2002 which has been recorded.

The Diocesan Statutes which had been developed by Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh between 1979 and 2001 to secure the spiritual and administrative independence of the Diocese were cancelled by a Decision of the Diocesan Assembly on 26 June 2010 and new Statutes were agreed.

The original station building stood on Baker Street and served the tube platforms with lifts, but these were supplemented with escalators in 1914, linking the Metropolitan line and the Bakerloo line platforms by a new concourse excavated under the Metropolitan line.

With the addition of another station bearing the name Shepherd's Bush, it was decided to rename the Shepherd's Bush station on the Hammersmith and City line ( the old 1914 Metropolitan line Shepherd's Bush station ) to Shepherd's Bush Market to avoid confusion with the Overground and Central line stations.
