The Diocese of Guildford prayer diary functions to provide a focus for daily prayer in the diocese, with every parish featuring as the daily focus once every six months, with information such as Saints days, and the Anglican Communion cycle of prayer also included.

Its purpose is to draw the clergy and people of the diocese into greater awareness of and fellowship with one another through daily intercession. It also helps to make us aware that we belong to a world wide Communion of fellow Anglicans.
