Appointing a new Archbishop of Canterbury

The Archbishop of Canterbury, the spiritual leader of the Church of England and the world-wide Anglican Communion, is appointed by The King following a prayerful and carefully structured process. 

The process is led by the Crown Nominations Commission (CNC), whose role is to discern whom God may be calling to this vital ministry. Unlike a secular recruitment process, no one applies to be the Archbishop of Canterbury. Following a full and open public consultation, candidates are invited into a months-long process of prayerful discernment. This spiritual approach ensures the nomination is about discernment under God, anticipating his provision and recognising his anointing of a particular person to give leadership.

Noon Day Prayers on 'Zoom' every Wednesday

Every Wednesday, mid-week and mid-day at noon, a group gathers virtually on Zoom for a few moments of prayer - about 15 minutes

  • This time of prayer sets a few moments aside during the routine of the week
  • It is simple and contemplative with moments of silence
  • Anyone who wishes to join on Zoom is welcome
  • It is also available on our Facebook Page

Every Wednesday at 12 Noon

15 minutes of quiet, reflection, and prayer

Caring for our local community and beyond

About 30 per cent of our annual budget is given in service to others. Here are some of the projects and initiatives that are our focus in 2024

Being the Church is about community

Sharing our blessings: All proceeds from parish events are directed to ministry and to community outreach projects for those in need locally and beyond
