About Us

The Diocese covers primarily the area of Greater London which is south of the Thames, together with the eastern part of the county of Surrey It is one of the largest dioceses in terms of population and parishes as well as one of the most diverse.

The Cathedral is a community of prayer at the heart and edge of our Diocese At the heart because it is the seat of the Bishop and the Mother Church for the parishes of the Diocese The Cathedral is also right on the northernmost edge of the Diocese.

Overview
**From The Right Reverend Christopher Chessun, Bishop of Southwark**

The Deanery of Southwark is within my gift as Patron and I wish to appoint a priest with singular gifts, someone who is highly relational, rooted by a deep and sustaining life of personal prayer, and able to balance the demands of a role which is both the Rector of a vibrant and South Bank parish church and the Dean of the Mother Church of this Diocese. The next Dean of Southwark will be sensitive to the charism of the Cathedral and its distinctive vision of embracing the God-given diversity of this Diocese with thanksgiving, and also committed to our Diocesan priority of speaking well of each other. Archbishop Josiah Fearon, the former Secretary General of the Anglican Communion, describes Southwark as a microcosm of the Anglican Commu
