Therefore, after this morning’s service the congregation stayed behind to hold an Extraordinary Parochial Church Meeting. This elected the 2 existing church wardens – Paul Webster and Anita Chettle, and 9 elected members of the PCC. Together with the Rector, 3 Readers, a Diocesan Synod member and 3 Deanery Synod members who are all ex-officio members of the PCC, this will give a PCC of nearly 20 people.
St Paul’s now becomes a charity in its own right and will have to be registered with the Charity Commission. The members of the PCC will be its trustees.
The church will be informed as the process continues.
