Welcome to Canterbury Diocese
Canterbury Diocese is the oldest diocese in England, stretching from Maidstone to Thanet, the Isle of Sheppey to the Romney Marsh. We have 350 miles of coastline with historic ports and seaside resorts, alongside rural communities, market towns and commuter-belt urban developments. Affluent areas often sit alongside pockets of major deprivation, offering an exciting and challenging mission context.
At the heart of all we do is a vision of transformation for ourselves and our communities: no one can encounter God and remain unchanged. In the Diocese of Canterbury, we want to increasingly become a Christian community transformed through encounter with Christ, growing and overflowing to transform and bless the families, homes and communities we serve: Changed Lives, Changing Lives.
The Most Revd & Rt Hon Justin Welby Archbishop of Canterbury |
The Rt Revd Dr Rose Hudson-Wilkin Bishop of Dover |

Today's Prayer
Canonry Benefice
Clergy: Caroline Turvey
Readers: Janice Willett, Anne Talbert
Schools: Ash Cartwright & Kelsey CE Primary School, Goodnestone CE Primary School, Nonington CE Primary School
We give thanks that, after over a year of interregnum, we have a new vicar, Reverend Caroline Turvey. We continue to work together to enable God’s generous love to be known across the Benefice and pray for discernment for Caroline as she gets to know, lead well and minister with the many people represented here.
Please pray with us as we restart Children’s work on Sunday mornings in Ash, as we find a new warden in Preston, and as the smaller Parishes work creatively to continue ministering and being a spiritual presence in their communities. Praise God for his abundance which gives us all renewed hope and strength in this new season.
