Help for Churchwardens

The English Clergy Association's new initiative to help churchwardens has been appreciated. We continue to offer help and information to churchwardens nationally. Churchwardens will enjoy the twice-yearly Parson and Parish magazine, and we seek to give legal information, information in these pages on how to deal with an interregnum, how to get grants, advice about buildings maintenance and so on.

Sir Patrick Cormack MP, Vice-President of the English Clergy Association said "As a church warden myself in my local church, I am delighted to see this initiative which will provide help and advice to hard-pressed churchwardens throughout the country".

Conference: May 10th 2010, 2pm St. Giles-in-the Fields, London - The Rt. Hon. The Baroness Cox, of Queensbury (http://www.hart-uk.org/)

In 2008 the Association celebrated its 70th anniversary. The speaker was our Patron, the Rt. Rev'd and Rt. Hon. the Lord Bishop of London, Dr. Richard Chartres, whose Address is reproduced in the last edition of Parson & Parish.

In 2009 we welcomed the Rt. Rev'd Dr. Michael Mazir-Ali, Lord Bishop of Rochester talking about Double Jeopardy: Secularism, Militant Islam and Christian Faith.

The 2006 and 2007 Annual Addresses by Chancellor James Behrens and by the Most Hon. the Marquess of Salisbury, P.C., D.L. are also available in previous issues, free on this website.Ample time for Questions and Discussions will be available, and we are most fortunate to be able to meet so centrally, and in such a very attractive restored Parish Church. The interior can be viewed on the contact us page.

Churchwardens are warmly invited to join the English Clergy Association - Contact The Reverend John Masding.
