The Diocesan Council welcomes you to the website of the Diocese of Auckland. The Diocese covers the area stretching from North Cape down to the Waikato River, across the Hauraki Plains and including the Coromandel Peninsula.
Within this area you will find over 90 Anglican parishes, mission districts and Local Shared Ministry Units. In addition there are many associated agencies such as City Mission, Anglican Trust for Women and Children and Selwyn Foundation. Anglican clergy serve as chaplains in schools, hospitals, prisons, universities and military establishments.
None of these ministry units and other organisations would be able to operate without the thousands of hours given so freely by volunteers.
We hope the website provides you with the information you need.

We are pleased to announce that the new dean to replace Jim White will be the Rev Dr Helen-Ann Hartley. Helen-Ann is currently Director of Biblical Studies and Lecturer in New Testament at Ripon College, Cuddesdon. The following is a quote from Rev Canon Prof Martyn Percy, the Principal of Ripon College, Cuddesdon:
“Helen-Ann is a gifted theological educator and communicator, and will undoubtedly bring much energy and vision to this new post. We will miss her here at Cuddesdon, where over the last five years she has made a significant contribution to our national and international work, and as an important member of the team. We hope that even in this new role, our bonds will continue to grow and develop, forging some new and exciting partnerships for theological education across the Anglican Communion.”
We are really delighted to have a person of this calibre join the faculty at this college. Helen-Ann will take up her position in the new year, the exact date has yet to be advised.
