- Archdeaconry of Lincoln: Stamford; Beltisloe; Christianity; Elloe East; Elloe West; Graffoe; Grantham; Holland; Lafford; Loveden
- Archdeaconry of Lindsey: Bolingbroke; Calcewaithe and Candleshoe; Haverstoe; Grimsby and Cleethorpes; Horncastle; Louthesk
- Archdeaconry of Stow: Corringham; Isle of Axholme; Lawres ; Manlake; West Wold; Yarborough
The diocese produces a bi-monthly newspaper called Crosslincs which is edited by the Diocesan Communications Officer.

Famous quotes containing the word present:
“I foresee the time when the painter will paint that scene, no longer going to Rome for a subject; the poet will sing it; the historian record it; and, with the Landing of the Pilgrims and the Declaration of Independence, it will be the ornament of some future national gallery, when at least the present form of slavery shall be no more here. We shall then be at liberty to weep for Captain Brown. Then, and not till then, we will take our revenge.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Finally, in the last year of her age,
Having attained a present blessedness,
She said poetry and apotheosis are one.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“For present joys are more to flesh and blood
Than a dull prospect of a distant good.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)
