As a network for all DDs in the Church of England, the Church of England Network of Distinctive Deacons (CENDD) welcomes the College and looks forward to working together to ensure every DD, DD ordinand and discerner is given the support and encouragement to flourish in their training and ministry.
(The Society’s College of St Philip the Deacon is not to be confused with the college of the same name for the diocese of Exeter, set up some years ago)
