PCC Meetings and the APCM and Meeting of Parishioners must take place as normal,
and should be chaired by the elected lay vice-chair of the PCC, unless the Bishop
appoints a priest to be in charge for the duration of the vacancy. The Area
Dean should be kept informed of important matters relating to parish meetings,
and can be invited to the Annual Meeting if this would be helpful, though the
presence of the Area Dean is not necessary for the Annual Meeting to take place.
