We pray to be generous and visible people of Jesus Christ

Welcome to the Diocese of Ely

The Right Reverend Sarah Clark was welcomed and installed in a ceremony at Ely Cathedral (click here for photos from the service) on Sunday 21 June 2026 after becoming the seventieth Bishop of Ely in a legal ceremony on 17 April 2026.

This website offers resources, guidance and inspiration to all those in the Diocese, helping us to grow a confident Christian presence in every community in our region.

Our church communities exist to serve their parish in all kinds of loving ways. That love is inspired through our Christian faith. Church schools exist to provide education like any other school, but have distinct values drawn from the Christian faith.
