How St John's fits into the Church of England

St John’s (technically St John the Baptist) is a Church of England church.

Our Parish is the south of Harpenden - but you will be welcome whether or not you live in the Parish - you should choose your Church because you like it (34% of people on the Church Roll live outside the Parish).

We fit into the overall Church of England structure as follows:

	St John the Baptist		Reverend Jonathan Smith
	Wheathampstead Deanery		Reverend Andrew Doye
	St Albans Diocese		The Right Reverend Christopher Herbert, Bishop of St Albans
	Canterbury Province		The Most Reverend Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury
	Church of England

St John’s is a member of Churches Together in Harpenden, an affiliation of Christian churches and communities. We gather with other churches to mark special occasions – eg the Good Friday Procession of Witness, to organise events of interest to all Christians and for charities such as Christian Aid.
