Welcome to the Handbook for Ecclesiastical Office Holders. The Handbook is designed to be a source of information for all clergy and licensed lay workers in the Diocese of Manchester, containing useful information and links to information available elsewhere in the Diocese or from other organisations.
The information relates to how you are engaged by the diocese and supported in the fulfilment of your duties. It is similar to what in lay terms would be a Staff Handbook.
