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.
Risen Jesus, as pilgrims in search of hope, we cling to you. We turn our backs on death and open our hearts to you, for you are Life itself. Dear Lord, help us to tell of Your wondrous love and mighty acts; to our friends, our neighbours, people we encounter, and to those that come after us. Visit our homes and our churches with
Your bright blessing of peace and life. Our hearts sing out your praise! In Jesus' name, Amen.
Prayer written by Steve Short - Verger at St Saviours, Westgate-on-Sea
