The Episcopal Church uses a representative form of government. The vestry is the group elected by the individual members to make the basic decisions about the church budget, and manage the temporal affairs of the parish.

Vestry: From the Latin word vestire, meaning to clothe, or to put on. Originally the word referred to the room where the priest would vest. In the early days the local lay leaders would gather with the priest as he vested to discuss the affairs of the parish. Later, the word came to refer to the leaders, instead of the room.
