St Irenaeus Orthodox Theological Institute is the successor of ACOT (Amsterdam Centre for Orthodox Theology), providing educational programmes at an academic level and courses and lectures for those interested in Orthodoxy. The institute reports to the de Orthodoxe Zendende Instantie, a body representing the more than a quarter of a million Orthodox living in the Netherlands.
The establishment of the St Irenaeus Orthodox Theological Institute (St Irenaeus for short) on April 8, 2020 heralded a new chapter in the fledgling history of Orthodox theology at university level in the Netherlands.
