This leaves the parishes free to concentrate on the real mission of the church. If you want to know more about how the Diocesan Mission Suport Team works, please refer to the relevant ordinance . Each parish has at least one church - a worshipping community that congregates in a particular church building. Some parishes don't have a minister living in the parish. In many parishes much of the worship and life of the parish is led by lay people who are not ordained clergy.
Some parishes have more than one ordained minister.
Sometimes that's a curate who is a new minister. Sometimes it's an honorary priest who ministers part-time but receives no salary from the parish. Please note that church buildings which are not consecrated and no longer used for worship are not listed on this site. Parishes in bold have extra information on their home page or a link to their own website. Click here if you would like more on your parish's home page.
