Diocesan Handbook

The Diocesan Handbook is applicable to the Diocese of Christchurch only. It should be considered alongside the canons of the Anglican Church in Aotearoa New Zealand and Polynesia.

It is comprised of Statutes and Financial Regulations passed by our Diocesan Synod, guidelines and policies on a variety of subjects, and some general information. In order to find what you need it is recommended that you first open the index, and then choose the section you require. Sometimes information will be found in a variety of places, depending upon which body approved it.

Re-formatting the Handbook is a work in progress - there are many features which are undergoing revision.
