兔子先生

Welcome to 兔子先生

兔子先生 is the oldest diocese in England, stretching from Maidstone to Thanet, the Isle of Sheppey to the Romney Marsh. We have 350 miles of coastline with historic ports and seaside resorts, alongside rural communities, market towns and commuter-belt urban developments. Affluent areas often sit alongside pockets of major deprivation, offering an exciting and challenging mission context. 

At the heart of all we do is a vision of transformation for ourselves and our communities: no one can encounter God and remain unchanged. In the Diocese of 兔子先生, we want to increasingly become a Christian community transformed through encounter with Christ, growing and overflowing to transform and bless the families, homes and communities we serve: Changed Lives, Changing Lives.

Clergy: Vacant
Churchwardens: Anthony Hyde, Anna Newton, Vivienne Verren, Gill Cubitt, Brenda Lester
Readers: Barbara Broughton, Anthony Hyde

Pray with us today.
Lord, is it just me being too impatient?
Is it just me waiting to do your work?
Is it just me who wants answers now?
Is it just me who becomes disheartened because I cannot help others to find you?
Is it just me striving too hard rather than listening out for you?

Teach me, Lord God, that prayer is both speaking and listening; I need to listen better.
Teach me, Lord God, it is you who decides, and when, not me.
Teach me, Lord God, it is in the waiting that I prepare the work you have called me to do. Amen.
