Welcome

Thanks for dropping into the web site for our Diocese. We are 570 Anglican churches in 496 parishes, serving a community of 830,000 people across Somerset.

We've been around for over 1100 years and most of our communication in that time has been face-to-face. We're working on how we can do that online as well. Email us and let us know how we're doing.

Use the search button, section headings at the top of the page, left hand menus or follow underlined links to get you where you want to go. From questions on the Christian faith, to finding your nearest church - it's all here!
