“Not only does the exercise embrace the Fifth Mark of Mission,
treasuring the Earth for future generations, but these forms also

Share figures down, a matter close to all our hearts! In addition,
details from the returns can be drawn straight into the diocesan
database, making it less likely that the information is incorrectly
entered,” she says.
Lead churchwardens have already been contacted asking whether
they or another member of the PCC would be prepared to accept
the Articles of Enquiry form by Email. Training resources showing
how to save the form, fill it in and return it will be on the
diocesan website soon.
