Swiss Archdeaconry

The Swiss Archdeaconry is part of the Church of England's Diocese in Europe. There are nine full-time chaplaincies (parishes), and a number of additional cities with either regular services or seasonal chaplaincies (see map below). Services are in English. For additional information, times of services, etc., check the church's own web page, if it has one, contact them by e-mail, or consult the Diocese's directory.

(All phone numbers are shown in international style. Replace the + with the international access prefix appropriate to your own location; the 41 is the country code for Switzerland, followed by the number. Within Switzerland, replace the +41 with 0 in all cases.)

Anglicans are in communion with the Old Catholic Church, which has a number of parishes in Switzerland. Generally these parishes have services in the local language. For more information, contact the Old Catholic Church in Bern at telephone: (+41) 31 251 35 30. The Willibrord Society exists to find practical ways of co-operation between Anglicans and Old Catholics.

The Archdeaconry also organizes seminars and training days, an annual retreat and an annual choir festival.

The Archdeaconry Synod meets twice a year.
