All Souls Church Today
We, who worship here now, come from all over the world. Harlesden has welcomed immigrants for over a century – the Irish, the Caribbean (including the Windrush generation), West Africans, and East Africans and more recently Poles, Portuguese, Brazilians, Filipinos, and other nationalities. Many of these groups have been welcomed into our community. Our style of worship reflects these many backgrounds but the dominant ethos is modern Anglo-Catholic.
Anglo-Catholicism comprises beliefs and practices that emphasise the Catholic heritage and identity of the Church of England (Anglican).

What We Believe
We believe in one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus is God’s Son. Jesus reveals to us that God is our Father, and that God is available to us through the Holy Spirit.
Our place on the Christian map
While our beliefs are Biblical (with some influences from the theology of the Protestant Reformation), we retain liturgies along with traditions from the early Church that Roman Catholics would find familiar. So, both groups would feel very much at home at All Souls.
Our worship
Our worship is open and inclusive of all, celebrating God's saving love expressed through Jesus in relevant,
collaborative and inspirational ways. We do this by:
The Church
The Church is built on prayer and the blood of Jesus, and on the foundation of the apostles and prophets. The Church is visible and invisible, fully human and fully divine; home to people of every nation, race and language, united in one faith and love, committed to each other for the worship of God, the preaching of the Word, administering Baptism and the Lord's Supper, pastoral care, discipline, and evangelism.
