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 the Right Reverend Sarah Clark, Acting Bishop of Durham and Suffragan Bishop of Jarrow in the Diocese of Durham, will be the next Bishop of Ely
