Explanatory note

This Resolution of the General Synod of the Church of England, which was passed in accordance with the section 7(1) of the Synodical Government Measure 1969, amends the Church Representation Rules contained in Schedule 3 to that Measure. The changes make provision for a district church council to be designated by the bishop’s council of the diocese as a parish for the purposes of producing financial statements in respect of that district instead of consolidating such financial statements in the statements of the whole parish.
