We have more parishes and churches than any other diocese in the Church of England.
There are 808 churches in 29 deaneries serving a population of 2.4m people and 284 Church of England schools serving 60,000 pupils. Together, we work with God and with others for the common good in every place in one of the great crossroads of the world.
Our staff support parishes and schools in a huge number of ways. This includes providing financial, legal and administrative services and advising on many different areas of school and parish life, such as working with children and young people, social justice initiatives, vocations and training, safeguarding and communications.
