What is a vestry?

According to Wikipedia, a vestry is "...body of lay members, elected by the congregation as a whole, which elects the rector of the church and conducts its secular business. The rector is an ex officio member of the vestry and usually chairs its meetings, but usually only votes in order to break a tie. The leading lay members of the vestry are generally the wardens."

The vestry of St Francis is group drawn from the patronage who, in combination with the pastor, govern the affairs of St Francis. The vestry is comprised of six members having overlapping terms, a warden, a junior warden, and a treasurer.
