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 rules and extent of their responsibility as elected Church officers.

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

• The Clergy Discipline Measure 2003
• Disability discrimination
• Memorial testing, and other health and safety issues
• Data protection

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

Also available in hardback.
