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.

Today's Prayer
Each day we pray for members of our diocese. Below you can find details of who we are praying for today, which we invite you to use in your own prayers.
Clergy: Vacant
Churchwardens: Brian Beswick, Mark Turner
Loving God, we give thanks for your encouraging presence throughout our interregnum and for the faithful retired priests you sent us from around the Diocese to lead our communion services. We pray for our church family who have supported the church in prayer and practical help during the interregnum. We thank you for your gift of a new priest-in-charge, and ask your blessing on her as she starts her ministry with us and becomes familiar with our parish and the needs of all who live, work and worship in this place. Amen.
