Customer Reviews

Helpful to a point
Having just been persuaded to take on the position of Churchwarden I stumbled on this book by chance and thought 'Survival Guide' sounded just what was needed. It is helpful on the minefield of paperwork and clerical procedures but the more practical things are lacking such as when the Paschal candle should be where/when to be sure to set up Easter gardens and when they must be removed etc etc etc.
Maybe there is another book out there?
This will be useful but not as useful as I hoped.

Churchwardens: A Survival Guide (revised edition)
I have recently been invited to become a Church Warden this book has helped me to get a better understanding of what is required. The style is both informative and practical without getting to involved in some of the ancient legalistics that make other books in this area heavy going.
