The Diocese of Ely - Church & Community

Church and Community

We believe the Christian perspective on life is both a valuable and necessary voice in the world. Jesus often confronted people with political, economic and social power in his own day, challenging them to consider the values that influenced their way of life. The Gospel also challenges the way we live in today’s world – not simply as individuals but in society at large. In this section of the website you can find out how Ely Diocese engages with a broad range of social issues in the wider community.

Following the very successful ‘Cambridge Conversations’ conference, organized by Bishop David in February, Malcolm Brown, the Director of Mission & Public Affairs at Church House, was invited to give a keynote address to Diocesan Synod in March.
