Churchwardens: A Survival Guide, by Martin Dudley and Virginia Rounding, will be useful both to existing churchwardens and to those considering whether to stand for election. Taking on this role can be a daunting prospect, in part at least because there has been an absence of clear guidelines as to precisely what a churchwarden is supposed to do. Much has been based on custom - that is, on what has been done before - and though there are certain things a churchwarden must do (those things established by law), there are many grey areas and at times even a sense of confusion. This book aims to tackle those grey areas, lessen the sense of confusion and present the role of churchwarden as one that is always challenging, sometimes enjoyable, sometimes onerous, and frequently rewarding. |
