We are the Church of England in Worcestershire and Dudley.  
Welcome to the Diocese of Worcester.

Our diocesan vision is to grow as Kingdom People, sharing the good news of Jesus’ love in Worcestershire and Dudley.  

As the body of Christ, God’s Kingdom People, we join together to worship God, make disciples, share hope, and transform communities as we live out values of love, compassion, justice and freedom.

The Diocese of Worcester is committed to safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults to worship and grow in Christ safely. 

Sharing the Joy of Christmas

Inspired by the Church of England’s Advent theme, we’re inviting people to share short video reflections that capture moments of joy during the Christmas season, whether personal, spiritual, or communal.

Daily Prayers

Interfaith Week

Today we reflect on this year’s Interfaith Week which took place from 9 to 16 November. The week aims to strengthen good interfaith
relations, increase awareness of the different faith communities in the UK, and to increase understanding between people of religious and non-religious beliefs.

Each year, thousands take part directly and millions encounter its positive messages through social media. A wide mix of different bodies take part: faith and belief bodies; local interfaith organisations; community and voluntary organisations; workplaces and staff networks; local authorities; emergency services; schools, colleges, universities and youth organisations; chaplaincies;
sports organisations; libraries, museums and art galleries; hospitals and hospices; and many others.

Pray for all interfaith networks, especially the Worcestershire Interfaith Forum and interfaith work in Dudley. Pray for events which have happened during Interfaith Week and those which take place throughout the year. Please pray also for the national Interfaith network.
