A reference guide for clergy outlining the statutory general provisions, as well as other policies and approvals relevant to clergy is available upon request. Ministry units may also find it a helpful resource. Please contact the Diocesan Office for a copy of the Clergy Remuneration Package.

Faculties

Ministry units wishing to build, alter or demolish any church, hall, vicarage or other building must obtain a faculty from the diocean bishop first. Faculties are also required for the alteration, addition or removal of church ornaments. The faculty petition form the ministry unit needs to complete can be found below. All parts of the form should be completed, according to the statutory requirement as in The Faculties Statute 2010 (Revised).

Steps are:

1. Fill out the relevant faculty petition form, including the required endorsements and accompanying documentation.

2. Send the application to the Archdeacon to the Northern Region, Carole Hughes or Archdeacon to the Southern Region, Michael Berry.

3. The archdeacon will then visit the site and report to the faculty committee.

4. The archdeacon will then consult the bishop and pass of the application to the faculty committee via the property manager.

5. The faculty committee reviews the petition and makes a recommendation to the bishop.

Please note that the work being considered must not begin before the faculty has been issued.
