We pray to be generous and visible people of Jesus Christ

Welcome to the Diocese of Ely

Our 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.

We are delighted to share that on Friday 17 April 2026, the Right Reverend Sarah Clark was confirmed in a legal ceremony as the next Bishop of Ely. Bishop Sarah will be welcomed and installed in a ceremony at Ely Cathedral on Sunday 21 June 2026.
