Our Story - The Vestry
The Vestry
The Vestry began life in December 2023, originally titled CoB's Creation Diary. While the name has changed, the founding purpose remains the same. As of now, The Vestry is still hosted on our Church's Substack (churchofburn.substack.com). It is a space to discuss the trials and tribulations of creating and running a Church dedicated to the destruction of the secular world's most powerful totem.
Traditionally, a Vestry is the room in a Church where Priests robe and de-robe before and after Service. Here, after the ceremonial loosening of the dog collar, our Priests and their guests have the opportunity for the free and colourful expression of their thoughts.
'Vestry' is also the term for a Church’s guiding body—those entrusted with protecting the Church's vision and ensuring its steadfastness over time. They safeguard the core values that shape how the Church lives out this vision, manage financial integrity to secure the Church’s future, and support the High Priest in leading the Congregation. Additionally, the Vestry leads by example, modelling sacrificial giving to inspire a culture of generosity within the community.
