Information of use to PCC members

Links to online information, information about books etc.

There is much material on the Church of England website that may be of use; some of the links on this page are to particular pages or sections of that site.

Please note: the information on this page is not an exhaustive list but merely a sharing of potentially useful resources I happen to be aware of. If you have come across other books or websites that you think it would be useful to list here please let me know.

Care of the church
