(d.) For the maintenance, repair, or improvement
of any such building as aforesaid, or for the maintenance of Divine service therein, or,
(e.) Otherwise for the benefit of any particular church or denomination, or of any members thereof as such (Sec. 75, i).
Any endowment of a charity other than a building held in part only for some of the purposes aforesaid, will be dealt with by the Charity Commissioners on the application of any person interested.
The expression, Ecclesiastical Charity, includes any building which in the opinion of the Charity Commissioners has been erected or provided within forty years before the passing of this Act, mainly by or at the cost of members of any particular church or denomination.
The expression, affairs of the church, includes the distribution of offertories or other collections made in any church (sec. 75).
It may be well to add that the expression Parochial Charity, when used in the Act, means a charity the benefits of which are, or the separate distribution of the benefits of which is, confined to the inhabitants of a
single parish, or of a single ancient ecclesiastical parish divided into two or more parishes, or of not more than five neighbouring parishes. (Ibid.)
These also come under the management of the Parish Council.
The provision of parish books and of a vestry room or parochial office, parish chest, and the holding or management of parish property not being property relating to affairs of the Church or held for an Ecclesiastical charity, are also in rural parishes transferred to the Parish Council.
