Welcome

Our Diocese comprises church congregations, schools, chaplaincies and other organisations all united by our common Christian faith. As a Church of England Diocese, we are called (in the words of our Vision Statement) ‘to grow a sustainable network of Christ-like, lively and diverse Christian communities in every place which are effective in making disciples and in seeking to transform our society and God’s world’. Every day, all around the diocese, dedicated, creative and passionate people are working together in the mission of God.
