The Diocese of Winchester is one of the oldest and largest in the
Church of England. Led by The Bishop of Winchester, the Winchester
Diocese is involved in all of the regular work which you would
expect, but a great deal more behind the scenes, with departments
of:
- Social Responsibility
- Ministry Development
- Faith Development
- Education
- Church House
The Church of England has both a spiritual and a physical
dimension.First and foremost, it is about proclaiming the Good News
of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. It is also the nation's church. It
is the mother church of the Anglican Communion, which covers 160
countries. |

The official home page of the Worldwide Anglican Communion
provides resources and links to information about the work, witness
and worship of the Anglican/Episcopal family of churches in over 160
countries around the globe.
The web site provides documents, directories, information and
resources, excerpts from the official magazine, Anglican World, as
well as regular reports and features from the Anglican Communion
News Service (ACNS).
The Church Times, founded in 1863, has become the world's leading
Anglican weekly newspaper. It has always been independent of the
Church of England hierarchy. It was a family concern until 1989,
when ownership passed to Hymns Ancient & Modern, a Christian
charitable trust.
The Church Times was started to campaign for Anglo-Catholic
principles, which it did with vigour and rudeness. But in the 1940s
and '50s the paper began the move to broaden its outlook and
coverage. It now attempts to provide balanced and fair reporting of
events and opinions across the whole range of Anglican affairs. The
rudeness is now left to its readers. |
