Welcome to the website of Canterbury Cathedral, Mother Church of the Anglican Communion and seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Cathedral is both a holy place and part of a World Heritage Site. It is the home of a community of people who seek to make the Cathedral a place of welcome, beauty and holiness. We hope you will be inspired to visit Canterbury and the Cathedral and we look forward to welcoming you.

Daily Prayer For Friday

We pray for God's blessing on our world, our families, our friends and ourselves, for all who have learning difficulties, and those throughout the world who have no access to education. Heavenly Father, we pray for children and young people everywhere, especially those who face particular challenges. Surround with your love and care those who struggle with learning difficulties, those who have become disillusioned with school, the many in our world who have no access to education and those whose childhood has been taken away by war or forced labour. Give strength and compassion to all organisations and individuals who seek to care for them, that all young people may grow up with a sense of self worth and a knowledge of your loving purposes for the world. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Read More...
