[Judy Ford · Rating 4 out of 5]

I needed to order some things for our PCC from Church House Publishing and I spotted this handy guide while I was on the website. I’d been anxious for a while that PCC members didn’t understand what their responsibilities actually are. The added bonus with this book is that it just so happens that it was written by our new diocesan bishop before he was raised to such elevated status. So, there should be no question of failing to take its advice seriously! It’s a slim volume with some handy hints and, what surprised me, after each chapter, there’s a “prayer” section to related the mundane administration to the spiritual plane. As a lifelong Methodist, I was delighted to discover John Wesley’s Covenant Prayer included.
