Helping the parish prepare fully
A parish needs to look at a number of matters and the legislation requires some formal meetings (Section 11 and 12)
-
Area Dean (and Lay Chair) meets Church Wardens to plan vacancy
-
The Archdeacon, Area Dean and Lay Chair hold informal meeting with the church wardens & PCC to look at all aspects of the future (Pre Section 11 Meeting - sample agenda available)
-
PCC hold a formal Meeting (Section 11) to consider:-
- Appointing 2 lay members as Parish Representatives in selection process
- Resolutions on the Ordination of Women (guidance available)
- Preparation of Parish Profile (see step 4)
