to the Department of Trade and Industry In December 2005 the Department of Trade and Industry sent Churches and other Faith communities a document Clergy Working Conditions-Statement of Good Practice and asked that the recipients both respond to the Statement and make the Statement and the response available to clergy/ministers.
