Diocese of Worcester - The Diocesan Handbook

The Diocesan Handbook

Introduction

The Diocesan Handbook is currently being updated and migrated to publication on the Diocesan Website rather than in the paper folder format dating from 1995.

The first papers to be published in this way were those related to the introduction of Common Tenure on 31^st January 2011. The numbering of these updated papers follows the arrangement of previous versions. These papers supersede those of the same number in previous versions.
