The total number of people worshipping at churches in the Diocese of Chichester has grown.

Rob Dillingham, Deputy Director for Apostolic Life said: “A report published by Church House Westminster shows encouraging news about the direction of travel for us as a diocese. It shows the total number of people worshipping at our churches weekly has grown.

“Whilst the lockdown will have massively impacted on numbers attending church, we should take encouragement from this news from the Statistics for Mission department and know that some of the activity, including on-line, that has been implemented has begun to show impact.

“We as a diocese are working hard to support all the amazing work that has been going on in our parishes, so that more people may come to know, love and follow Jesus.”
