A comprehensive and indispensable guide for newly elected and existing churchwardens, this revised and updated edition of the authoritative handbook has been a staple in the ecclesiastical realm since its first publication in 1921. With over a million copies sold, it has become the go-to resource for churchwardens and members of Parish Councils (PCCs), providing a clear path through the often complex legislation and outlining the extent of their responsibilities as elected Church officers.

In response to the ever-evolving landscape of ecclesiastical law, this new edition has been meticulously revised to incorporate several significant developments. Notably, it includes revisions to the Pastoral Measure 1983, the Dioceses Pastoral and Mission Measure 2008, which introduced new powers for Bishops to make Mission Orders, and the introduction of Clergy Terms of Service. Furthermore, the Legal Advisory Commissions' recommendations on PCCs powers and duties have been carefully considered, enhancing the usefulness of this comprehensive guide.

To enhance its practicality, this edition includes a wealth of additional features. Flowcharts and checklists provide a visual aid for understanding complex processes, while photocopiable legal forms and notices offer practical solutions for parishes. Moreover, the inclusion of health and safety issues ensures that churchwardens are well-equipped to address these critical concerns.

Whether you are a newly elected churchwarden or an experienced member of a PCC, this handbook is an essential tool for navigating the complexities of church governance and fulfilling your responsibilities effectively. Its comprehensive coverage, updated legal insights, and practical resources make it a must-have for anyone seeking to serve the Church in a meaningful and responsible manner.
