Trustees. Report {includlng Dir¢ctors' Report) (Con￿nued}
for the year ended 30th June 2024
The Oxford Theological Exchange Prffjramme (OTEPI was established after the fall of Communism lo provide
opportunities for scholars from the countries of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe lo carry out research
in Oxford under the aegis of the Faculty of Theology and Religion of Oxford University for up lo one year. The
Warden of the House, as a research associate ollhe Oxfor(I Centre for Religion and Culture {OCRCI at Regent's
Park College, is responsible for administering the programme. There has been a hiatus in offering scholarship
lo indivtduals, but the programme continues ils activities within the College research environment. There have
over the year also been several short research visits lo the House by previous OTEP scholars.
The need lo further theological undeislanding in a region in which religion is currently being inslrumenlalised for
war seems urgent and building personal relalDns across traditions an essential aspect of the effort needed lo
work for peace. We hope cir¢umstsnces will allow us lo offer the scholarship again soon, as supporting
theological research and researchers in this way conlribules lo keeping open channels olcommunulion be￿een
Christians of East and Wesl in an increasingly polarised religious landscape.
In partnership with FSCIRE Ifondazione per le scienze religiosel in Bologna, the House was involved, along with
Regent's Park College and the MFO, in the organisalion of a major. inlemalional conference on the Council of
Ni¢aea held in Oxtord overlwo days in December, underlhe heading".'The NI￿ne and Nicene-constsntinopolilati
Creeds". Tensions, Rapprochements. Effects,. significantly pulling the creed as symbol in ecumenical perspective.
The scholarly papers explored a range of historical and eonlemporary effects and resonances of the
NicenelNicene-Conslanlinopoltt8n creeds in a range of Christian traditions, including fo¥ instance Syriac.
Amienian. ninlh-eenlury Rome an(t Byzantium. and twenlielh-cenlury Russian sophiological thought. There was
a strong Orthodox presence al the conference. with starting addresses given by Archbishop Nikitas of Thyateira
and Great Britain and Archbishop Angaelos of the Coptic Orthodox Church. The closing address was given by
Professor Alberto Melloni. Director of FSCIRE and UNESCO Chair of Religious Pluralism and Peace, who looked
ahead to the anniversary of the Council of Nicaea in 2025 and set the event in the context of a series ol
conferences. the first of which had been held the previous year in Istanbul in the presence of the Patriarch of
Conslanlinople.
The House aims lo foster exchange between Christians of East or Wesl through academic reSea￿h on the
Chrislran Ira<Jilions of East and Wesl and by co-operating with other groups lo further research and public
engagement also in the area of religion and society and religion and the arts, especially in an Easl-wesl Christian
context, as in the collaborative Nicaea conference. Some of the House Iruslees and friends ol the House bring
their professional expertise in thes¢ areas and connect the House with their wider networks. In addition the
House sometimes hosts events, either virtual or in person, in the area of law and ieligion, religion and sustainable
development and ieligious cultural heritage protection. The VV8rden invofves the House with thi5 work by
participation in local and international conferences. such as the workshop on secltrily and reliqious siles
{organised by Conference of European Churches in Spain) and one on Gender on MoLtnl Athos held al MFO i
Oxford in September with an accompanying exhibition for which the FSASS and the House lent books and
photographs from their collections.
This year has been mafked by the hor¥or of the Hamas attack on Israel on 7 October and the ongoing confllct
that has ensued in the Middle Eo$1. The fragile Christian eomrnunilies of the region have been greatly affected
and remain a particular concern. The House offers a Pla￿ of openness and dialogue between Christians of
different traditions and, building on ils histori¢ ecurnenical ￿MMItMent. also engages with those of other faiths,
continuing lo provide opportunities for such engagement and buikling personal friendships across trad￿tIOnS al a
time of increased religious and political tension.

Flnancial revlew
The House has made progress in this year towards financial sustainability. We have tumed around the negative
general fund balance of 2023, with 2024 showing a break-even figure. This has been thanks, in most part, lo the
increase in rents for 2023124 which can be seen in note 4. Wrth investment returns and interest we have grown
our finances healthily.. however, there 15 skn.ll some way lo go before we reach the agreed £10k surplus wiihin
general fund and the Trustees have agreed lo fLbrther raise rents as we aim to meet this tsrget.
In 2024125 the House introduced a new accounting system which should give us more accuracy in-year, giving
staff and Iruslees the ability lo submit timely out-of-pocket expenses for payment. It 8150 Provides us with an
automated invoicing system. replacing the former manuallemail-based system. This will give us greater oversight
of outstanding rents.
The established schedules for routine maintenance and redecoralKJn (interior and exieriorl continue. Health and
safety matters are reported regularly lo the Council and house improvements in conneclk)n wtth health and safety
legislation are made where necessary. There is still a stgn of movement on the office bay. which has been
investigated as far as possible, and we have been advised to monitor, bul there is no immediate con¢em. Building
work undertaken during the year has focused on routine maintenance, particulady work to bathrooms and
replacing carpets. This is expected lo continue into 2024125.
The House has invested in a defibrillator in coordination wilh the chuieh and the Fellowship.
11 is unlikely that maintenance costs will decrease in the future as we continue lo invest in the upkegp of our
buildings. Whilsl there may be cause for capital fundraising when major piojecls appear on the horFzon. the main
lever available lo raise income is lo increase rental prices. The House trustees have recognised the need to
reflect aclivety on how to build up gieater resilience The charity does not al present actively fundraise from the
public, although the Iruslees are pleased to receive unsolicited grfts and legacies lo support ils ongoing work.
House income is almost exclusively raised from accommc%Jation fees.
Scholarships are awarded each year from the Zernov Carras schdarship fund. a fund established to aid any
student connected with the House and connected with ecurnenical work or studying theology or church life wlh
preferen￿ for an e¢uMen￿al subject. This year a scholarship of £1000 was awarded lo a resident ol the House
in connection with his work organising a conference at Kellogg College in Oxford on 'Minoritisalion and Religion
in South East Asia..
The Teserves which the House holds are 8PPOrtioned befv4een various funds. Apart from the Zernov Carras
Scholarship Fund, which is a restricted fund, there are th￿e designated funds.. the Reserve Fund. the Loan
Repayment reserve, and the Library Fund (for the purchase of books and joumals for the library}. The annual
amounl transferred lo the Library Fund is £300 per annum. The Reserve Fund is lo provide for the long-lerm
stsbilily of the House. lo assist with any future major works required for the fabric of the House and lo further ils
charitable objectives. The Reserve Fund is hekl in investments with the Central Board of Finance of the Church
of England. The Council aims lo build up a reserve of £SO,000 lo provide for the long-lerm stability of the House.
Current fund balances are given on pages 17-19 of the accotjnts. General funds lolal £46.581 12023.. £46,148}
of which £51,016 12023.. £57.6901 is represented by tangible fixed assets to give a defKit lo I￿e ¥e5erves of
£4,435. This year again there have been no IransfeTS lo the Loan Repayment Reserve.
The trustees have assessed the risks lo the charity. These include.. damage lo and loss of propety. e8pecially
slruclural damage, economic collapse, and loss of rent. The House has insurance cover of £10,000,000 in
respect of public liability and there are pr(xedures for risk management, including fir>ancial controls. To manage
non-finan¢ial risks, the HoLtse has robust policies in place, awareness training for staff and provision of external
onsuttancy on mallers of health and safety.
In the long term, the Council is aware that a much larger reserve fund needs lo be built up to meet contingencies,
for the enhancement of the House and the extension of ils work, and the trustees have agreed an aspirational
target of a £10,000 surplus each year until reserve fund levels are reached.
