While our main centres — Hull, Middlesbrough, and York—are well connected by major road and rail networks, much of the Diocese is rural, with slower transport links and economically diverse communities.

This is a significant role at the heart of Living Christ’s Story, a key focus of which is to help us to nurture vibrant and sustainable missional communities serving the length and breadth of the Diocese of York, and to grow lay and ordained ministers who are outward facing, confident in discipleship and mission, well-resourced and well-supported.
