There have been many books written to assist churchwardens in
discharging their duties, detailing their responsibilities in
respect of the intricacies of ecclesiastical law and making the
role seem quite a challenge. The office of churchwarden is one of
the oldest recognised forms of Lay Ministry and is the highest
position of trust and responsibility that the Church gives to its
lay people. The churchwarden is a lay official in a parish or
congregation of the Anglican Communion, usually working as a
part-time volunteer. They are ex officio members of the parish
board, usually called a vestry, parochial church council, or in the
case of a cathedral parish, the chapter. Over the centuries
churchwardens have acquired many 'hats,' carrying out tasks that
required a broad range of skills both practical and pastoral. They
came to the fore during the time when the vestry evolved to be a
key element of political democracy in local government. The aim of
this, sometimes whimsical, book is to illustrate the various roles
and situations churchwardens would have had to deal with, from the
early years of the Christian Church to the present time. By
exploring these important roles and their dilemmas in interpreting
complex laws and social problems throughout the ages, will perhaps
reassure current post-holders that they are indeed better off than
their predecessors.
