Welcome to ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú
ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú 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 ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú, 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
Father God, today we pray for our Diocesan Archdeacons, praying for Archdeacon Darren Miller, Archdeacon Will Adam, and for our interim and associate Archdeacon’s, Sharon Copestake and Richard Braddy.
We give thanks for their faithful ministry amongst us, particularly as they support churches through periods of interregnum. We thank you for their wisdom and commitment, as they nurture and guide the many different communities within our Diocese.
And we ask you to bless and strengthen them with the gifts of your Holy Spirit, so that they may faithfully serve you, and have the strength to be firm witnesses of the Gospel, sharing the Good News with the world. This we ask in the name of Jesus, Amen.
