Diocese of Edinburgh

Who we are

The Diocese of Edinburgh is one of 7 dioceses which form the structure of the Scottish Episcopal Church, part of the worldwide Anglican Communion. Each Diocese is run by a Diocesan Bishop who oversees the spiritual and practical concerns of all the clergy and lay (non-ordained) people within their own diocese. The Diocese of Edinburgh covers the City of Edinburgh, the Lothians and stretches from the Firth of Forth down to the English border.

Our culture and values

Our diversity is expressed in our many different church communities and worship styles, while our unity is found in our commitment to Jesus.

There is a friendly culture of sharing and collaboration amongst the office team, along with the diocese’s commitment to both personal and professional development for all staff.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

Being a church organisation, we do not close ourselves off from people from any background, creed or community.
