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
Praying Together: Maundy Thursday
Loving God, Creator, King;
before dinner you washed your disciples feet.
Help us to serve each other as you serve us.
Loving God, Incarnate, Redeemer;
at dinner you shared your life in bread and wine.
As we take part in your meal forgive us our sins.
Loving God, Counsellor, Advocate;
after dinner you prayed with your disciples.
Give us strength to pray with you,
not mine, but your will be done.
Amen.
Prayer written by Revd Richard Birch - PTO in the North Downs Deanery
