The Diocese of Portsmouth is one of the smaller dioceses in the Church of England, and the smallest of the three that have no suffragan Bishop.
The diocese covers a varied and rapidly changing community which some regard as a microcosm of England since it includes areas of affluence and deprivation, of economic growth (especially in service industries) and decline (especially industries affected by the "peace dividend"), and a wide range of social problems, urban and rural.
The knock on effects of the decline in the naval dockyards in Gosport and Portsmouth are being offset by the concentration of the Royal Navy in Portsmouth as its principal port.
