It covers pragmatic issues such as money, housing, pensions and discipline, as well as matters of doctrine.</p> <p>The handbook is compiled by the Bishop's Chaplain and is regularly updated.

She, along with the other members of the Bishop's advisory group, is available to assist parishes in their applications and also to come and speak to parishes who are considering making an application.</p> <p>A set of documents have been designed to inform parishes on legislation, best practice, and provide help for a congregation that is exploring whether it will ask for the bishop’s permission for baptised children to be prepared to receive Holy Communion before Confirmation.</p> <p>The General Synod Regulations and official documents are also available below. Pages 1407-1410 are designed to provide the PCC, parents, children’s leaders, and the congregation with user-friendly information and suggested further reading before attending any meetings:</p> <p><a href="/content/pages/documents/admitting-children-to-holy-communion-before-confirmation-1401-introduction.doc">1401 Introduction</a><br /> <a href="/content/pages/documents/admitting-children-to-holy-communion-before-confirmation-1402-bishops-direction-2014.pdf">1402 Bishops Direction 2014</a><br /> <a href="/content/pages/documents/admitting-children-to-holy-communion-before-confirmation-1403-best-practice.doc">1403 Best Practice</a><br /> <a href="/content/pages/documents/admitting-children-to-holy-communion-before-confirmation-1404-application.doc">1404 Application</a><br /> <a href="/content/pages/documents/admitting-children-to-holy-communion-before-confirmation-1405-re-application-form-for-parishes.docx">1405 Re-Application form for parishes</a><br /> <a href="/content/pages/documents/admitting-children-to-holy-communion-before-confirmation-1406-sample-pcc-resolution.docx">1406 Sample PCC resolution</a><br /> <a href="/content/pages/documents/admitting-children-to-holy-communion-before-confirmation-1407-background-notes.docx">1407 Background notes</a><br /> <a href="/content/pages/documents/admitting-children-to-holy-communion-before-confirmation-1408-preparing-your-parish-paper.docx">1408 Preparing your parish paper</a><br /> <a href="/content/pages/documents/admitting-children-to-holy-communion-before-confirmation-1409-including-children-in-the-eucharist-paper.doc">1409 Including children in the Eucharist paper</a><br /> <a href="/content/pages/documents/admitting-children-to-holy-communion-before-confirmation-1410-suggested-resources.doc">1410 Suggested Resources</a><br /> <a href="/content/pages/documents/admitting-children-to-holy-communion-before-confirmation-1411-regulations.pdf">1411 Regulations</a><br /> <a href="/content/pages/documents/admitting-children-to-holy-communion-before-confirmation-a-rite-of-presentation.pdf">A Rite of Presentation</a><br /> <a href="/content/pages/documents/2022-07-04-c-and-hc-parishes-with-permission.pdf">Children and Holy Communion - Parishes with permission as of 2022</a></p> <p>If you need any further information please contact Bishopscourt on 01634 842721.</p> <p> </p> <h3>Dispensations</h3> <p><a href="/content/pages/documents/dispensations-under-canon-law-december-2020-.pdf">Dispensations under Canon Law December 2020</a></p> <p> </p> <h3>Christian Initiation</h3> <p><a href="/content/pages/documents/christian-initiation-return-to-be-completed-by-each-incumbent-sponsoring-adult-initiation-candidates-.docx">Christian Initiation return (to be completed by each incumbent sponsoring adult initiation candidates).</a></p> <p> </p> <h3><a id="Holy Communion" name="Holy Communion"></a><a href="#Holy Communion">Holy Communion</a></h3> <p><a href="/content/pages/documents/holy-communion-by-extension-policy-nov-2023.docx">Guidelines  for Holy Communion by Extension</a><br /> <a href="/content/pages/documents/rite-for-holy-communion-by-extension.docx">Rite for Holy Communion by Extension</a><br /> <a href="/content/pages/documents/rite-for-holy-communion-by-extension-order-two.rtf">Rite for Holy Communion by Extension – Order Two</a><br /> <a href="/content/pages/documents/holy-communion-further-advice-and-practicalities.docx">Holy Communion- further advice and practicalities</a></p> <p> </p> <hr /> <h4>Key Contacts</h4> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="collapse" style="width:100%"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="vertical-align:top;
