 The
College of St George is a religious community of lay and ordained people
held together by a common purpose - to worship God and to serve the
community at large. Its members have diverse gifts and skills which
life in the College helps them to use fully.
- In terms of organisation, each part of the College's life relates
back to 'Chapter', an ancient title for a board meeting, usually through
one of the Canons who has specific responsibility for that area.
- So the Musicians, responsible for the Music performed in the services
and for the concerts in the Chapel, would be managed by the Director of Music, with the help of an Assistant Organist
and Organ Scholar. Ultimately they are answerable to the Canon Precentor.
- Likewise the Chapel Staff - the Succentor, the Virger, the Sacristans,
and the Chapel Assistants, all responsible for the management of the
arrangements for the Services, would be answerable to the Precentor.
- Similarly the Works Team, - the Clerk of Works, the Deputy Clerk of
Works and plumber, the carpenter and builder, the two painters, the
College Postman and the Chapter Mews maintenance assistant - all responsible
one way or another for the fabric of the College's buildings as well
as the utilities, are answerable to the Canon Steward.
- The management of the College IT Network and Telephone system also
comes under the aegis of the Canon Steward.
- The College Accounts Office, a staff of three under the management
of the Financial Accountant, responsible for the College's finances,
is answerable to the Canon Treasurer.
- The pastoral care of both the community and members of the worshipping
congregation, as well as visitors to the Chapel, is undertaken by the
Dean's Vicar, and in the Chapel itself by the Secretary of the Guild
of Stewards and the Chapel Stewards themselves. The arrangement for
all of this is the responsibility of the Canon Chaplain.
- The College Archives and the Chapter Library, all managed by the College
Archivist, her deputy and staff, are responsible to Chapter through
the Canon designated as Canon Librarian.
- Corporately the Chapter also exercises responsibility within the management
of both St George's House and St George's School.
