First published in 1921, this reference work is a standard guide for churchwardens and members of parish church councils, and for clergy seeking clarification of modern legislation, and the rules and responsibilities of elected Church officers. This is an updated edition reflecting changes in the law, including: Care of Churches and Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Measure 1991, which gives church wardens new responsibilities; Priests (Ordination of Women) Measure 1993, which allows parishes a chance to opt out, or to opt back in again; Incumbents (Vacation of Benefices) Measure 1995; Team and Group Ministries Measure 1995; and The Church Representation Rules, which have undergone extensive revision, and their new numbering. The book is now in inclusive language.
