The Rt Revd
Dr Dagmar Winter

Acting Bishop of Ely

 Welcome to the Diocese of Ely

UPDATE: On the 15th July 2024 it was announced that the Crown Nominations Commission, which was considering the nomination of the next Bishop of Ely, was not able reach the level of consensus required to nominate a new Diocesan Bishop. You can read this announcement and what it means here.

Further information on the overall process can be found on the Diocesan website - click here.

This website offers resources, guidance and inspiration to all those in the Diocese, helping us to grow a confident Christian presence in every community in our region.

 Our church communities exist to serve their parish in all kinds of loving ways. That love is inspired through our Christian faith. Church schools exist to provide education like any other school, but have distinct values drawn from the Christian faith.

We have an exciting, hopeful vision and strategy to help us grow and develop. We created this together to give us direction, right up to the year 2025.
