A revised and updated edition of the authoritative handbook for both newly elected and existing churchwardens.

First published in 1921, this handbook has sold over a million copies and has become the standard guide for churchwardens and members of PCCs. It is indispensable for all who wish to tread a clear path through the sometimes complex legislation and know the extent of their responsibility as elected Church officers.

This new edition has been fully updated to take into account several new developments:

Changes in ecclesiastical law, including:
– the revision of the Pastoral Measure 1983
– the Dioceses’ Pastoral and Mission Measure 2008, the new power to make Bishop’s Mission Orders
– the introduction of Clergy Terms of Service
The Legal Advisory Commission’s recommendations on PCCs’ powers and duties
Health and Safety issues

Flowcharts and checklists add to the usefulness of this volume, as do photocopiable legal forms and notices for practical purposes in parishes.

Kenneth MacMorran was a Queen’s Counsel and a Diocesan Chancellor. Timothy Briden is a Barrister-at-Law of the Inner Temple, Vicar General of the Province of Canterbury, Chancellor of the Diocese of Bath and Wells, and Chancellor of the Diocese of Truro. He is a Member of the Legal Advisory Commission of the General Synod, a former chairman of the Ecclesiastical Judges Association and a Member of the Rule Committee constituted under The Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction and Care of Churches Measure 2018.
