Hornsey Parish Church is part of the Church of England in the Edmonton Area of the Diocese of London, which in turn is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion. We are a diverse and vibrant church with a congregation representative of the varied community that Hornsey is: young and older; married, single and partnered, straight and gay; British and international. The style of our worship is focused upon the Eucharist. We see our liturgical life as very important: not fussy and celebrated with attention and care. There is something for everyone at Hornsey Parish Church and we hope that can include you too.
Please come and see us – you will be very welcome

Dear friends,
Vocation can sometimes be a very difficult word for me. Its root lies in the Latin vocare, ‘to call’. It is God’s call upon us and upon our lives.
Just over three years ago, I finished my A-levels. At that time, I had a fairly ‘normal’ life plan in my mind: go to university, study for three years, graduate, get a job, and so on. It is worth saying that I didn’t know what job I wanted when I did graduate, but I still had three years to decide that, I thought. Like many of my friends, I left leafy Cambridge, where I had grown up, to study at university.
I started my degree in theology at Durham University in the autumn of 2014, quickly making new friends while still keeping in touch with old ones. Up to the summer of 2016, though, I think it is fair to say that while I had experienced things that would seem God was calling me to serve in the Church, I ignored or suppressed thoughts and feelings about vocation.
