As well as providing information on the structure and work of the church, a section has been created to inform visitors to the website of the church's position on key issues including the ordination of women and World Aid.

Each of the 12 dioceses within the church has its own series of web pages which include a list of all parishes and diocesan staff. Statements issued by the church's press office will also be put on to the website as they are released.
