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.

Clergy: Jo Richards
Readers: John Morrison, Tessa Taylor, Margaret Wells
This creation-tide, we pray for all those who are helping us to work towards Net Zero both in our homes and churches. In this season of harvest we give thanks for the work of our farmers and all those involved in the production of our food, and we remain mindful of those who go without, both locally and globally. We ask for prayer for our recently launched scrabble club, and may it be a place of welcome and refuge for those who are lonely and marginalised. Praying also for all those known to us who have been recently bereaved and those beginning new schools and colleges at this time of year.
