  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.

  This handbook has remained in print ever since its first printing in 1921. This revised edition includes updates on the Church Representation Rules, the Churchwardens and Lay Officers Measure, and the requirements for the verification of accounts. MacMorran and Briden have included flow charts and checklists to explain the most difficult points, and legal forms and notices (which may be photocopied). This work of reference will continue to be an indispensable guide for churchwardens, members of parochial church councils, and clergy who wish to tread a clear path through the complexities of modern legislation.
