Description

This series contains records of Shoreditch Rural Deanery. It consists of a ruri-decanal conference minute book.

A rural deanery is a collection of parishes administered by the rural dean, who is the leader of the local clergy in a deanery and joint chairman of the deanery synod with an elected lay chairman. His main role is to act as a means of communication between the bishop and the clergy. Typically between 16 and 24 parishes make up a deanery. A group of deaneries forms an Archdeanery.

Ruri-decanal pertains to the rural dean and his jurisdiction.

A Chapter is a meeting of the clergy of an area of a diocese under the chairmanship of their rural dean
