Wardens
The post of church warden was probably the first elected position in England, and so it carries with it some very ancient privileges. The role of a church warden may be quite varied, but they are most well known as those responsible for managing the church’s property (remember that a church is a community, not merely a place). They are elected every year by the parish and work with the clergy to support the church’s physical needs. These part-time positions are voluntary and are responsible direct to the Bishop of Birmingham.
