Vestry
Heather Liebman, Toby Pugh, Bill Humbert, Bambi Sturbois
A vestry was a committee for the local secular and ecclesiastical government for a parish in England and Wales, which originally met in the vestry (the room where the clergy vested, or changed clothes), and consequently became known colloquially as the "vestry". The vestry “shall be agents and legal representatives of the Parish in all matters concerning its corporate property and the relations of the parish to its clergy” (Canon 14).
The members of the St. James vestry are active volunteer leaders, elected to overlapping three-year terms at the annual parish meeting each January.
Their primary responsibilities are to oversee parish finances and buildings and to give leadership in parish programs, ministry, and worship. The vestry of St. James meets monthly, and consists of the rector, a Rector’s Warden, a People’s Warden, and seven members. Also present at vestry meetings are the treasurer, who reports on current financial conditions and the clerk of vestry, who takes the minutes. Parishioners are welcome to attend vestry meetings.
