Christians make up 2.1 billion people globally – around a third of the world’s population.
And the Church is growing – at a rate of around 70,000 people a day worldwide. In this country, the most recent Census figures (2011) showed that Christianity remains the biggest religion in England and that almost 60 per cent of people identify themselves as Christians.
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.
