Any person entitled to attend the Annual Parochial Church Meeting may raise any question of parochial or general church interest.
What difference does it make
By enrolling you become a voting member of the Church of England and so help to ensure that all the synodical councils of the Church - the parochial church council, the deanery synod, the diocesan synod and the General Synod - are fully representative of its members. Synodical government gives an opportunity for partnership between bishops, clergy, and laity in the life of the Church. The system is intended to enable church people at every level to be in touch with the Church as a whole and to play their part in decision-making. It also ensures that the laity have their place in every aspect of church life, including its doctrine and services. *******************Electoral Roll Application Form Application Form - Enrolment on St. Mary's Electoral Roll
