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 |

School: Hythe Bay CE Primary School
Heavenly Father, today we ask you to bless the people of the parish of Hythe. As the parish continues its work to reflect on the theme of ‘Welcome’, we ask that you would guide them in their discernment and inspire their discussions so that the people of Hythe may live up to their vision to be ‘ever-more welcoming, inclusive, and caring Christian community.’ Bless too Father, those who volunteer for the 101 Open Door Project, all those involved in their developing youth ministry, and those members of their new worship band. Amen.
