Episode Synopsis

Who can serve on the vestry of an Anglican church, and how are they chosen? In this edition of Ask the Church, we endeavor to explain the role of the vestry in church governance, its historical roots, and the different models Anglican churches use today. We also explore the biblical and diocesan criteria for those nominated to serve on our vestry, and how prayer shapes the final selection.📩 Have a question for a future episode?
