Vacation of Office

A churchwarden may resign by giving written notice of intention to resign to the Bishop.

That notice becomes effective

• Two months after the notice; or
• Such earlier date as may be determined by the Bishop after consultation with the minister and any other churchwarden.

A churchwarden automatically vacates office if:

• The name of the churchwarden is removed from the church electoral roll
• The name of the churchwarden is not on a new church electoral roll
• The churchwarden becomes disqualified (see 2 above).
