Christians make up 2.1 billion people globally – around a third of the world’s population.
The Diocese of Derby consists of most of Derbyshire and a couple of parishes in Staffordshire.
The cathedral is in Derby itself.
The diocese serves a population of around one million people and has more than 300 churches.
It works in communities, schools, prisons and hospitals as well being represented in various other aspects of city and county life.
Under three archdeacons, the Archdeaconries of Derby City and South Derbyshire, Derbyshire Peak and Dales, and East Derbyshire consist of deaneries and parishes all of which work alongside Christians of other denominations.
For our Diocese, Indices of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) scores for each parish/team range from 3.5320 (least deprived) to 61.4208 (most deprived). Individual Parish Deprivation Scores are calculated inversely to individual parish/team IMD scores. These range from 12.43 (least deprived) to 5.80 (most deprived) *. A lower amount means a parish/team will be requested to pay less Common Fund. *The figure of 12.43 is the amount that would be required to finance the full cost of ministry in the Diocese per person per week. The lower figure of 5.80 represents 5% of a 2015 Basic State Pension.
