THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST STEPHEN CANONBURY 

St Stephen's Church is the parish church for Canonbury in the London Borough of Islington, within the Stepney Area of the Anglican Diocese of London. The public services and worship of the church put Christian faith into practice through prayer, scripture, music, sacrament and two specialist ministries: The Manna, serving homeless and marginalised people, and Urban Hope, serving young people.
